Darougheh House, a historical house in Mashhad was built by Russian architects in the late years of Qajar era. The house, which was built for the police chief [Daroughe in Persian] of the northeastern city, has been registered as one of Iran’s national heritage sites.
According to UNESCO, the conservation of Darougheh House has reinstated a significant component of the historic townscape of Mashhad. Based on in-depth historical research, verified through archaeological excavation, the project preserved the original building’s scale and footprint with a focus on the retention of original materials and reuse of materials from demolished adjacent buildings.
Meanwhile the Restoration of the Sanro-Den Hall at Sukunahikona Shrine in Ozu City, Japan, Ehime Prefecture, has received the Award of Excellence in this year’s UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation, as reported by the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC).
Beyond its architectural elegance and historical significance, Darougheh House, nestled in the heart of Mashhad, Iran, stands as a poignant reminder of the city’s vibrant past and a testament to the transformative power of cultural preservation. Resurrected from the pages of history, it whispers tales of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives and times of Mashhad’s elite under the Qajar dynasty.
