The front of the Ashland House. Standing in front are guides, Jumana Qamruddin and Nazir Bhagat. Bhagat, who owns the house, purchased it in the 1980s and has done extensive research on the history of the house. The house is complicated in structure, featuring several add-ons. Guests reported that going through the house felt like walking through a maze. The front and back stairs of the house are reminiscent of Greek Revival Style, according to Bhagat.
