Children palying cricket outside the Haveli Sujan Singh, also known as Sujan Singh Haveli, is a haveli located in the congested market of Bhabra Bazar. It was built by a wealthy timber merchant and businessman of Rawalpindi, Rai Bahadur Sujan Singh, in 1893. The family used the haveli as their personal residence until settling within the cantonment of Rawalpindi.They donated the former Sujan Singh Haveli to the government for usage by Sikh military officers.[ It is during its time under ownership of the British colonial government that two additional stories were added to the building in the first half of the 20th century to be used as lookout posts since they offered a panoramic view of Rawalpindi. The later residence of Sujan Singh’s family after moving out of the haveli is now part of Fatima Jinnah Women’s University.
