Governor's House (Urdu/Balochi: گورنر ہاؤس; Pashto: ګورنر هاؤس), formerly known as the Quetta Residency, is a historical government building located on Zarghun Road in Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistan. It serves as the official residence of the governor of Balochistan.[1]
Originally built in 1888 to house the chief commissioners of Baluchistan during British rule, the building was damaged during the 1935 Quetta earthquake. It was rebuilt by the then viceroy of British India and completed in 1942.[1][2] Following Pakistan's independence in 1947, it became the principal workplace and residence of the province's chief commissioners and governors. It is recognised as one of several cultural heritage sites in Quetta.
