Bahawalpur House is the former residence of the Nawab of Bahawalpur in Delhi. It is located at Sikandra Road 1 and Bhagwandas Road.
History
[edit]After independence, the palace was used temporarily by the American Library from 1969 until February 1974. After that, the National School of Drama made its headquarters in the house.[1] The National Institute of Kathak Dance also has a space there.[2]
In 2011, the construction of the Delhi Metro threatened the structure. Through protests, the construction plans were amended to circumvent the historic building.[3]
