Wealthy Hindu cloth merchants built several dozen stately mansions in

an hour east of Dhaka, in the 19c. As religious tensions rose among

Hindus and Muslims, the owners were forced to abandon them and

move to safer quarters. For awhile they sent money to their servants to

keep the homes in good repair. Eventually, they realized they would

never return and the building fell into disrepair. The government has

boarded them up to keep out squatters but nothing is being done to

return them to their former splendor.
