Freemasons Hall, Quetta, Balochistan, British India: A Glimpse into the Colonial Past This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of Freemasons Hall, also known as McMahon Lodge, in Quetta, Balochistan during the British Raj era in India. Dating back to the 1910s, this impressive building stands as a testament to the rich history of the Freemasons society in the region. The Freemasons, an international fraternal organization, have a long and intriguing history that dates back to the late 16th century. The society, which emphasizes moral values, charitable work, and the pursuit of knowledge, has spread across the globe, including British India. Quetta, located in the Balochistan province of present-day Pakistan, was a significant British colonial outpost during the 1910s. The city served as the administrative and commercial hub of the region, attracting a diverse population of Europeans, Indians, and locals. The Freemasons Hall, with its imposing architecture and grandeur, was a symbol of the British presence and influence in the region. The photograph showcases the large, well-maintained building, with its intricate stonework, tall columns, and ornate windows. The lush greenery surrounding the building adds to its picturesque beauty. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the colonial past and the unique blend of cultures that once thrived in Quetta. The Freemasons Hall, now a part of Pakistan's heritage, continues to stand proudly in Quetta, serving as a reminder of the region's diverse history and the enduring legacy of the British Raj in India.
