by Behi - last update: Aug 6, 2007

Khaneh Borujerdiha ( Borujerdi ha House )
The house was built in 1857 for the bride of Haji Mehdi Borujerdui, a wealthy merchant. The bride came from the affluent Tabatabaei family, whom Ustad Ali Maryam Kashani had built their house (The Tabatabaei House) some years earlier.
Khaneh Borujerdiha ( Borujerdi ha House )
Mr Brojerdi asked for Mr Tabatabei's Daughter.
Mr. Tabatabaei responded that Mr brojerdi can marry with her when Mr Brojerdi build house as beautiful as Mr. Tabatabaei's one
because she was grown up in big & beautiful one.
Mr. Brojerdi accepted it, & He exactly built beautifuler than Tabatabaei's one.
It consists of a rectangular beautiful courtyard, delightful wall paintings by the royal painter Kamal-ol-molk, and three 40 meter tall wind towers which help cool the house to unusually cool temperatures.
