History

The mansion was constructed between 1892 and 1912 as a summer residence for the Qajar era prime minister Abdol Majid Mirza. After the rise of the Pahlavi dynasty and due to his debts, Abdol Majid Mirza lost the mansion to Basir ad-Dowleh of the Haravi family.[2][3]

The building is one of the possible locations for the Tehran conference, though that is unlikely.[4][3]

It was listed among the national heritage sites of Iran with the number 2042 on 25 June 1998.[2][1]
