Hello @PaulPavlinovich
This place situated in Tikatuli near the Baldha Garden which is in Gopibug area,, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The exact location is at the K.M Das Lane of Tikatuli.
This Building name is Rose Garden Palace.
The Rose Garden Palace was built by a Hindu zamindar Hrikesh Das in the late 19th century.[Around that time jalsas (parties) held at Baldha Garden were an important part of the social life of the city's wealthier Hindu residents. The story goes that Hrishikesh, a zamindar of lower caste background, being insulted on this account by someone at one of the jalsas at Baldha Garden, decided to create his own garden to outshine that of Baldha. Here he staged jalsas of his own. The centerpiece of the garden is an elegant pavilion. However, this was not created as a residence, but rather a setting for entertainment such as musical performances (although subsequent owners did use it as a house). This extravagant lifestyle caused Hrikesh to go bankrupt and he was forced to sell the property.
The palace was bought by Khan Bahadur Kazi Abdur Rashid from Hrikesh in 1936 and renamed the building Rashid Manzil. His eldest son Kazi Mohammed Bashir (Humayun) who carried his name and fame until this generation.
