Borujerdi House

The Borujerdi House (Persian: خانه بروجردی‌ها) is a historic house museum in Kashan, Iran. It was built in 1857 by architect Ustad Ali Maryam for the bride of Borujerdi, a wealthy merchant. The bride came from the affluent Tabātabāei family, for whom the architect had built the nearby Tabatabai House several years earlier.

The Borujerdi House consists of the biruni ("exterior", the public area) and the andaruni ("interior", the private quarters) features of Iran's traditional residential architecture, including a courtyard with a fountain pool and a two-story iwan (balcony). The main hall is topped by a khishkhan, that is a type of central dome. Three 40-meter-tall windcatchers, two above the main hall and one over the entrance area, are also erected on the house. The house is decorated with stucco, glass work, ayeneh-kari, and features frescoes by the prominent painter Kamal-ol-Molk.
