Frere Hall is one of the few well-preserved buildings from the days of the British Raj that still exists in Karachi. Frere Hall was built in honor of Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere (1815-1884), who was known for promoting economic development in Karachi. Out of twelve designs submitted, Lt. Col St. Clair Wilson was selected and thus construction started in 1863. The hall opened in 1865. It was uilt in the Venetian Gothic style with yellowish Karachi limestone and red and grey sandstones from Jungshahi.

Although the province of Sindh is now spelled Sindh, the Sind Club still uses the old spelling given by its founders.

Inside, you will discover a ladies bar and the dining room designed in a southern Italian style.

The Quaid-e-Azam House and Museum, earlier known as the Flagstaff House, is located on Fatima Jinnah Road.

The building was designed by architect Moses Somake and likely built in 1890.
