Hindu Rao House

Hindu Rao House  was built in the early 19th century   as the residence of a dynamic British officer, William Fraser.

In 1835 A.D., Shams-ud-Din Khan, Nawab of Ferozepore, murdered Fraser. 

The house was then bought by Hindu Rao, a Maratha nobleman and brother-in-law of Maharaja Daulat Rao Scindia of Gwalior.

Since then the building came to be known by the name of Hindu Rao, even though the owner of the house soon changed when a British family bought it after the death of Hindu Rao. 

Later, the house became the headquarters of British forces in 1857 during the First War of Indian Independence. 

In the early 20th century, the house was converted into a hospital for English nationals. It has continued to function as a hospital after India gained independence, and till date, it serves the needs of the people of Delhi.

It is now called the Bara Hindu Rao Hospital.
