Ghanta Ghar Clock Tower (1884-88)
(گھنٹہ گھر)
The Ghanta Ghar clock tower stands in central Multan directly west of the city's old fortress, and immediately across the street from a major roundabout where a number of streets converge.
Built from 1884-88, it is an Indo-Saracenic style building which was used as the headquarters of the municipal government under the direction of the British Raj, who ruled the British Indian empire from 1858-1947.
The British had taken control of Multan in 1849 from the collapsing Sikh Empire, beginning 100 years of British rule over the city. Even in 1884, almost two generations following the siege that won the city for Britain, large areas of Multan remained in ruins. The decision was made to
construct a grand municipal office building over the ruins of the haveli (mansion) of Ahmad Khan Sadozai, which had been destroyed during the siege. Construction took about four years and the building was named RIPON HALL in honor of the 1st Marquess of Ripon, who ruled as Viceroy of India from 1880-84. The central feature on the building's south facade—its clock tower—was dubbed Northbrook Tower in honor of the 1st Early of Northbrook, the former Viceroy who
served from 1872-76.
The hall was constructed in the Indo-Saracenic style which was quite popular throughout Britain's south and southeast-Asian colonies (for examples of this style, see the GATE WAY OF INDIA, or
the sultan mosque and ABDUL GHAFOOR mosque of Singapore). The style was popularized by British architects who synthesized Victorian-era Gothic and Neo-Classical styles with the Muslim
traditions of the Raj in India. Hallmarks of this style included the use of cusped arches, projecting eaves, and a multitude of domes, turrets, and cupolas on the rooftop, as well as the use of native building materials such as sandstone and marble.
Following liberation from British rule in 1947, the hall was renamed Jinnah Hall but continued to function as an administrative center.
In 2016 the building was handover to PMU WALLED CITY office; its conservation starts in the project DILKASH MULTAN in 2022 and in under process. now it’s become the regional office of PUNJAB WALLED CITY AUTHORITY
