Construction of the Unar House began in the late 1890s and was completed in 1903. It belonged to Talpur Mir’s wife, who was from the Unar clan of Khairpur. It was later occupied by her descendants, became the property of the Unar family and known as the “Unar Bangalow” of Kot Diji, Khairpur. The architectural design of the structure is Rajasthani in character, and resembles the adjacent haveli of Mir Ali Ahmed Talpur. The interior walls and ceilings of the house are adorned with frescoes done in lime plaster. The structure has a big central hall and living rooms, which may have been used as guest/bed rooms. With airy roof
terraces to avail the cool breeze in soaring temperature, it was mostly likely used as a summer house.
Condition
The structure at present is in a deplorable condition; the age of the building, lack of maintenance and monitoring, unchecked vegetation growth, improper drainage and weathering are amongst the key causes of its deterioration. Work is about to start.
