Yadgar Club, formerly known as Victoria Memorial Hall, is a colonial-era building situated in Muzaffargarh, Pakistan.[1]
Built in 1909, the building was initially named the Victoria Memorial Hall before the Deputy Commissioner of Dera Ghazi Khan renamed it to Yadgar Club in 1988.[2][3][1] The total area of Yadgar Club is 18 Kanals.[4] Yadgar Club was renovated in 2019[5] after being neglected for many decades.[2]
The building was constructed in the memory of Queen Victoria who died in 1901.[5] This building was built with the donations from the general public and government officials.[1] Lala Kedar Nath, District Judge, supervised the construction of building.[1] The club was used by the Muzaffargarh Club, District Board and Government Girls College at different times.[1] The District Board and Government Girls College got separate buildings later.
