Borujedihã House:
In Sultan Amir Ahmad quarter from Alavi St., we reach a
house where sometime ago was a residence of a famous merchant in this
land built in 1865. The owner of this house was known as "Borujerdi"
due to his much transaction with merchants of Borujerd and their much
presence in this house. The architect of this house is the same
merchant of Amin-Od-Doleh arcade, the master Ali Maryam who designs
such a magnificent and beautiful house consisting of two inner and
outer sections. The entrance of the house has two doors one for the
inner section and the other for outer section and has a very beautiful
plaster and vaulted decorations. From here through a curved and sloped
corridor, we enter the Borujedihã house.

The house has contains four constructional units knows as
four season house. The Northern part of the house has desirable warmth
due to sunlight, has been used in the winter. Around the central yard,
as the four constructional units exist, some underground parts have
also been built have been quite cool and pleasant in the warm summers

some ventilations have been designed for air exchange and cooling the
inner space. In the end of parlour, there is the alcove surrounded by
two floors building adorned with plaster cutting, frescos and vaulted
