Khursheed Jah Devdi Hyderabad, Telangana

The building is located in the Charminar area of Hyderabad. Originally designed by Nawab Khurshid Jah Bahadur’s grandfather, Shams-ul-umara Amee-e-Kabir (with European influence) and completed by his father Rashiduddin Khan in the late 19th century. It houses the Hussaini Alam Government Girls’ College in the same compound. The building suffers from lack of maintenance and care. It is in an advanced state of decay owing to neglect. It appears to be a case of waiting for imminent collapse through denial of maintenance and continued deterioration.
