Historically Flood-Escaped Old House

This is another old house, which needs to be restored. The significance of this house in relation with the River blockage of the Hunza River, which has blocked down to Shishkat and in a period of many weeks, the water stopped and Gulmit was under this water. This blockage is said to be in 1856. When the water started bringing half of Gulmit under its domain, this old house in Dalgiram escaped, although some water started entering in the house through the threshold. This house also exists and is an asset of the community, which remembers the people the natural calamity of the 19P century.
