Title:

Dilaram [Lucknow]. Photographer: Abbas Ali

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

General view of the verandahed house known as Dilaram Kothi (Heart's Ease House), built in European classical style and once part of a larger complex of buildings: 'This building was erected by Nawab Saadut Ali Khan, there were a number of buildings in connection, but all have been demolished, leaving the present house standing alone. As will be seen from the view, it is a rather handsome building, in the Italian style, three stories high...' Rosie Llewellyn-Jones is less certain under which ruler it was built and cites Saadat Ali Khan's successor Ghazi-ud-din Haidar as its possible commissioner. She notes that it was demolished c. 1917 (Rosie Llewellyn-Jones (ed.), 'Lucknow city of illusion,' Prestel, 2006).
