There were three havelis in this complex: a large fortress-like compound on the South, a smaller one in the North and an isolated three-storey British-period house on the Southeast. One can enter the complex through the emplacement of two former gates, both leading to open grounds on the East, formerly the front lawn and driveway. The main entrance on the Northeast was near the middle of a long row of British-period, two-storey shops-cum-houses, running along Choona Mandi. The huge arched doorway and vestibule existed as late as 1950. The marble fountain, once in front of the gate, was removed in 1986 in preparation for an inaugural visit. On the south side of the open grounds there was a smaller gate next to a farach khaneh or reception all, with a fine nishastgah or living room on its first floor, now replaced by a number of privately owned new buildings. The oblong space between the two larger havelies leads to a somewhat widened space in the rear, where a feel khana or elephant house attached to the second haveli was standing until the early 1980s.
