Pictures .. Oman before independence

ArabiaWeather.com - Rami Muhammad - The pictures show the city of Amman in the twenties and forties of the last century before independence, and the old Post Office building until 1944 AD, which moved to its new location on Prince Muhammad Street, appears next to it a building that housed a police station in the thirties.

The building was removed and the Arab Bank building was erected in its place.

Another picture shows a garden in Lweibdeh belonging to the house inhabited by Beck Pasha, the first commander of the Jordanian Arab Army, and the remaining ruins visible in it are what remains of a Byzantine church.  

As for the house, it belongs to his heirs, the late His Excellency Abdul Halim Al-Nimr Al-Hamoud, which was later transferred to the Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation and was renamed (Dar Al-Funun) in 1990.

In another picture, the Al-Husseini Mosque appears from the minaret with its stone helmet before it was destroyed by the famous earthquake in 1927 AD, which was replaced by a wooden helmet .
