I have been away from ATP for almost a year and I thought it would a be good way to return by posting a quiz for readers. This structure somewhere in Pakistan, when existed, had a great deal of historical importance. All you have to do is guess what and where in Pakistan is this and its historical significance.
As usual, answer to the quiz and photo credits etc will be posted in 2-3 days time.  Hope its not that difficult. Happy Guessing.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Well, I did post a message this morning with precise details about the picture above, stating that it was of Sandeman Memorial Hall, Quetta. The picture was probably taken in 1900. After May 1935’s earthquake the building was destroyed. I gave further links about similar photos and about 1935’s Quetta earthquake. But it seems the moderator is either not interested in what I had said or perhaps he doesn’t want people to have a quick solution to the puzzle!
Looking at the picture suggests its from early 1900s or may be late 1800s. Perhaps an old building in Lahore? Can’t figure out what it is but notice there is a horse drawn carriage in the picture :–)
I think this is an old colonial building in Bahawalpur. I have seen similar architecture there. Perhaps a museum or a memorial hall?
