Haji Ismail’s family from the second marriage. He had 5 kids from the first.

The Ismali's were a very prominent and wealthy Muslim family in Kandy, specially between 1930’s to 1950’s. They owned many properties and Businesses in Kandy. To name a few, cinemas, petrol and service stations, a hotel, and the crown of it all, was the Ismail and sons Private Limited, which traded motor spare parts, batteries, cycles. This building is yet owned by the family and located right opposite the building is the Ismail Clock tower. A monument built by Haji Ismail for tragically losing one of his sons in Kadugannawa. This was built in 1947 and all necessary equipment was imported from the UK.


The tower was opened by the then Prime Minister, The Hon D S Senanayake together with the Mayor of Kandy, in the presence of the family members. This tower marks the center of Kandy and to-date a well-known land mark.
