Kunkurwali Kothe

Title

Kunkurwali Kothe

Description

View No. 20.

Built as a residence by Nawab Saadat Ali Khan (r.1798-1814), it is no longer in existence. "During the Mutiny, this building was made the Head Quarters of the rebel General, Burkat Ahmud; as to who built it, or what use it was formerly put to, history is conflicting: at present it is occupied by Captain Pitcher, Judge of the Small Cause Court."

On the right is a large building, formerly used as a church : it is the tomb of Amjud Ali Shah, the fourth King of Oudh, and iscommonly called " Junnut Makan ka Imambarra."

Turning again towards the Obelisk, on arriving at the end of the street, is seen the Noor Bukhsh ki Kothi or Light-giving House. reference
