Built about 80 years ago, the builder of this residence was a saffron businessman. The structure now seems to be divided in terms of ownership as one half of the elevation has a newer structural extension. Presently, the owners of the residence are his sons, Abdul Majid Wani and Abdul Gaffer Wani. |
| Local / Traditional description associated with Built Heritage / Site निर्मित धरोहर / स्थल से सम्बंधित स्थानीय/ परम्परागत विवरण |
The town of Pampore has remained a major centre of trade, culture and politics. Also known as land of red gold for its open down clayey karewa soil, home to saffron cultivation for centuries. Saffron cultivation was and still is the prime occupation of the town. The town has given two great Kashmiri poetesses to the valley namely Lala Ded and Habba Khatoon and many other spiritual personalities and hermits. Pampores location at Srinagars doorstep made it witness various political events. This explains the sociological diversity of the town and the probable locale for the first Gandhian organization in the valley of Khadi Ashram. |

| Description of Building/ Structure/Site
इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
The residence is a rectangular plan and seems to be divided in terms of ownership as half of the elevation differs in its upkeep from another. Also a newer construction has been added on one side. The approach is from the street on the south which branches from the main road on the west. The formal entrance is embedded in a porch which is under a dub coming from the first and second floor. Another, and in use, entrance is through the newer construction to one half of the residence which is being lived in. In terms of an entity, this building of three floors is a typical Kashmiri house with a backside staircase and a front lobby with rooms on either side. Two dubs are hung symmetrically from the second floor on the western or main roadside facade. |

The principal materials used in the construction of the building are brick, stone and wood, with lime mortar . The structural system of the building is load bearing with simple rectangular windows of timber jali work surmounted by segmental arches on first and second floors. Ground floor has stone masonry infill whereas subsequent floors have brick infill with stone lintels which have been painted on with blue motifs for ornamentation. At many places the brick masonry has been painted with the same blue motifs to balance the ornamentation on each floor. Floor lines are emphasized by exposed wooden runners and floor joists. Timber bands have been provided at all floor levels which act as a major earthquake resistant feature. The traditional pitched roof covered with CGI sheets are edged with an ornate eaves board and timber carved pendants. |
