The Quaid-e-Azam House and Museum, earlier known as the Flagstaff House, is located on the Fatima Jinnah Road in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, and like almost all other houses on the road, was originally owned by a Parsi business tycoon.
Father of the Nation, Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, purchased the house on the eve of Independence and later Madar-i-Millat Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah lived for many years here.
The building was designed by architect Moses Somake. This probably is Somake's first known building which on one hand is modest and, on the other charming.
The bungalow, which was later designated as the Flagstaff House because of the residence of the General Officer Commanding, is situated at the most exclusive area of the Staff Lines. It is surprising that an architect little known at that time was asked to design this building.
The house was probably built in 1890. Somake had a habit of signing his buildings by inscribing his name in an obscure place that could be found with little effort. In the case of the Flagstaff House, it is etched on an inner face of the porch. Somake's work on the Flagstaff House was confined to the main double storey bungalow, while the annex was added to the premises at a later date. Somake lavished his attention on the façade facing the Bonus Road, which was the main thoroughfare at the time, probably due to a tight budget.
The frontage has a symmetrical arrangement, with two wings flanking the central porch that carries the projecting part of the verandah. Simple arcading, carved pilasters and sloping roofs using red clay tiles are the architectural ingredients of this attractive bungalow. An unusual element is the introduction of semi-circular balconies, which also appear in the City Courts Building built at a later date. Finely chiselled and carved features embellish the front façade, while the rest of the building is in a hammer-dressed masonry.
Quaid-i-Azam visited the Flagstaff House in 1943, liked it and showed interest in acquiring it. Although owned by a Parsi business magnate Sohrab Kavasji, it had been requisitioned as the residence of General Hind, GOC.
The deed of purchase in the name of "Mr Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Barrister-at-Law, Bombay" was registered in March 1944. After the partition, the bungalow was furnished with the belongings and furnishings of the Quaid that had been brought from his Delhi and Bombay residences, and was kept in readiness, to be occupied by him, possibly after his retirement.
After the death of the Father of the Nation in 1948, Fatima Jinnah lived in the house from 1948 to 1964. Due to prime location several commercial organisations were interested in acquiring the property not for conservation but for demolition and constructing high buildings. Besides a number of public sector companies also tried to acquire the premises to erect a new building thereon.
The bungalow lay neglected till 1985 when, as a result of the pleas by the Heritage Foundation, it was acquired by the Government of Pakistan; restored and declared a national monument the Quaid-i-Azam House Museum. It now houses furniture, relics, and other items of the Father of the Nation.
45-year-old Burnetta Marie Quaid, a resident of Apple Valley, was the driver and sole occupant of a 2008 Kawasaki motorcycle when her vehicle collided with a 2010 Kia Optima at the intersection of Waalew Road and Dale Evans Parkway.
According to authorities, at approximately 6:45 A.M., Quaid was traveling westbound on Waalew Road and a black four-door Kia was stopped at Dale Evans Parkway. The driver of the vehicle attempted to make a left turn on to Waalew Road and struck the motorcyclist.
The female juvenile driver and her male juvenile passenger were uninjured and did not need medical attention. Paramedics responded and Quaid was pronounced dead at the scene.
“A couple of my coworkers and I performed CPR on her until EMS arrived but she didn’t make it, stated Cindy Woodman.
Those who knew Burnetta refer to her as “Bunny”. Victor Valley News Group member, Lorraine Wentworth, had the following to say about Burnetta, “We played softball together so many years ago for years. We lost contact for a few years and I ran into her about a year ago at the doctor’s office. Back in the day when she played she was an awesome softball player. she had the sweetest most caring personality anyone could have and always kept us laughing. She was part of our softball family and will be dearly missed.”
“I will love and miss you. You were a great rider and a very responsible woman. I know you will be with us and watching over us…just make sure you keep God laughing and DONT cheat him at cribbage, said Michael Cheek Sr.

PEARL HARBOR (Oct. 20, 2019) Sailors aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Halsey (DDG 97) pose for a photograph with actor Dennis Quaid on the ship's forecastle. Stars of the upcoming film Midway visited JBPHH Sailors and Airmen before a special screening of the movie. The production aims to remind viewers just how precariously America’s future teetered in the early 1940s, and what cost, sacrifice and luck were required to achieve a free and open Indo-Pacific.
