Sidhowal Lodge

One of the first houses to be built in Shimla in the 1820s, this was initially called ‘Ballyhack‘ and later became Christ Church Lodge. It was renamed Sidhowal Lodge in the early twentieth century when it passed into the hands of the Sidhowal family with whom this still is.

सिधोवाल लॉज

1820 के दशक में शिमला में बनने वाले पहले घरों में से एक, इसे शुरू में ‘बैलीहैक’ कहा जाता था और बाद में क्राइस्ट चर्च लॉज बन गया। बीसवीं सदी की शुरुआत में इसका नाम बदलकर सिधोवाल लॉज कर दिया गया, जब यह सिधोवाल परिवार के हाथों में चला गया, जिनके पास यह अभी भी है।
