Resembling more like a battlement tower than a House of God, this is the oldest and largest protestant Church in Sind. It was begun in 1852 and consecrated in 1855. Designed by Capt. John Hill, to accommodate 800 worshippers, its square tower once rose to about 250 ft. In 1905 when the foundations showed signs of weakness, the upper portion was reduced to a height of 110 ft. The tower was also used in the past as a beacon tower, clearly visible to ships approaching the Karachi harbor. |
