Quaid-e-Azam Residency (Urdu: قائدِ اعظم ریزیڈنسی), also known as the Ziarat Residency, is a 19th-century wooden building located in the hill station of Ziarat in Balochistan, Pakistan. Constructed in 1892 during the British India, the two-storey structure is best known as the place where the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, spent the last months of his life in 1948. The building is a wooden structure, originally designed as a sanatorium before being converted into the summer residence of the agent of the Governor General. It is declared a heritage site and is of great architectural importance.
