Gampo Shar
This building on the Barkor (bar skor) in Lhasa used to be a home for retired monks of the Jokhang temple. It became public housing in the late 1950s. Some of the walls of the building are very old and the building also preserves an old chimney system. In 2000, the building underwent a restoration.
