Edulji Dinshaw Dispensary


Edulji Dinshaw Dispensary, officially the Eduljee Dinshaw Charitable Dispensary, is a building in the Saddar neighborhood of central Karachi, Pakistan. It was built in 1882, and served as a charitable dispensary for Karachi's citizens. It was named after Karachi-based Parsi philanthropist Seth Edulji Dinshaw, who donated 5,500 rupees towards construction - half of the building's cost. Dinshaw had risen from poverty and became the largest landowner in Karachi at the time. It was designed James Strachan, and was Karachi's first Italianate building.
