Garden and historic Persian house of Narenjestan e Ghavam (Qavan) House, Shiraz, Iran. Originally a private house, built between 1879 and 1886 by Mirza Ibrahim Khan, the house is a superb example of a traditionally styled house with a central court yard and beautiful classic enclosed Persian garden built on the traditional cross plan, lined by parallel rows of trees with a long pool containing a series of fountains down the middle. The ceilings of some rooms are painted with a mixture of western and Persian motifs.
