The Tajjar building is small but an impressive brick structure, measuring 42x42m. It is located close to the south east of Town Hall inside the Jinnah Bagh at Larkana and consists of 3 apartments, a central hall ( 14x 30 m) with two side galleries, each measuring 8x38 m. The building was decorated with glazed tile work and floral fresco paintings, the traces of which were reported. The Tajjar building by the passage of time fell victim to the human hands and under went many additions and alterations striping of its, all original grandeur. Giles, commissioner of Sindh, set up library in this building in the year 1864 CE. Also, the building was used as a canteen for a considerable time.
