This beautiful, tall blue and white house is now a cultural center with an affordable gift store.

This magnificent, tall blue and white house has a façade and balconies full of ornamentation, mixing Indian influences (wooden balconies and coloured stained glass windows) and European neo-classical style. It was built as a public hospital by a wealthy Indian merchant Tharia Thopan, who laid the foundation stone in 1887. The house was bought by another Indian merchant who turned it into a charity hospital, before it fell into disrepair after the revolution. Today it is a cultural centre with an affordable souvenir shop in its central patio.

superbe
Beau bâtiment de style colonial, effectivement fermé à la visite, la façade est très belle, son environnement l'est moins (zone ferry). Lieu incontournable de votre visite pédestre de Stone Town.
