Malek House, a historical Qajar-era building in Mashhad, is known for its unique blend of traditional Iranian and European architectural styles. It features a two-story structure, with the upper floor showcasing a lattice and wood-carved ceiling, and a plaster fireplace. The house also boasts a private bathhouse, a rarity for its time in Mashhad. Now, it serves as the Center for Creation and Research on Traditional Arts.
Built during the late Qajar era, Malek House was once a much larger complex. The remaining external section, with its two floors, is a testament to the architectural styles prevalent during that period.
The upper floor's lattice and wood-carved ceiling is a notable detail, as is the plaster fireplace. The house also features a unique private bathhouse, a rarity in Mashhad from that era. The architecture is a fusion of traditional Qajar design and European influences, particularly evident in the main building plans.
The house is registered as a national monument of Iran, highlighting its cultural and historical importance. Today, Malek House is a vibrant hub for traditional arts, serving as the Center for Creation and Research on Traditional Arts.
