His Son sold this property to the French traders afterward after his father’s death. The French traders became affluent after they bought this property. They did tax-free business at that point and were doing better as compared to English and other European countries.
 They constructed a grand palace and dug a pond called “Les Jalla” within the compound of the building. The pond still exists. But with the increasing power of English, the French were defeated. They sold the property to the established landlord of Dhaka Khwaja Alimullah.
 A stable and a family mosque were added to the palace also as some renovation work was done. The trading house became the house of Khwaja Alimullah. It had been his son, Khwaja Abdul Ghani who brought major changes to the place.The 19th century Ahsan Manzil (or Ahsan Manjil) was the official residential palace and accommodate of the Dhaka Nawab Family.
 Nawab family were the elite society of the town. Nawab Sir “Abdul Ghani” named it Ahsan Manzil after his son Nawab Sir “Khwaja Ahsanullah Bahadur.” Pink Palace, it’s another name due to the colour of the walls, stands witness to several historical events in Bangladesh.
