The Governor's House is located along the Mall Road in Lahore, the capital and political center of Punjab province.

Although a separate walled complex, it sits adjacent to the Staff College on one side and Al-Hamra Arts Council on the other.

Under the house, there is a tomb belonging to a man by the name of Muhammad Qasim Khan, who is said to be a maternal cousin of the Mughal emperor Akbar.

After the annexation of the Punjab from the Sikh Empire, the building and the land around it was purchased for a paltry sum of Rs.

The Governor's House has evolved over the years in terms of architect due to altered political scenarios, different events and requirements.
