Shariatimanesh explained that the house features traditional and local architectural elements, including a central courtyard, an ivan, an entrance corridor, and several rooms arranged around the yard.
He added that the Gholamzadeh House belongs to the category of two-ivan residential structures. “Despite later physical alterations, the building retains its Safavid authenticity, which is clearly visible in its layout and design,” he said. The rectangular plan of the structure is aligned along a north–south axis.
South Khorasan Province, located in eastern Iran, is a region with deep historical roots stretching back thousands of years. Archaeological findings in cities such as Birjand, Ferdows, and Boshruyeh reveal traces of ancient settlements that flourished along desert routes connecting central Iran to the eastern territories.
Throughout history, South Khorasan served as a significant link on the Silk Road and other caravan paths. These routes enabled the movement of goods, scholars, and travelers, turning the region into a cultural intersection where Persian, Central Asian, and even Indian influences merged. Many of the area’s traditional caravanserais, fortifications, and adobe-built villages still reflect this prosperous trading past.
South Khorasan is also notable for its long-standing architectural heritage. Its historic houses, windcatchers, water reservoirs, and mud-brick fortresses illustrate a unique adaptation to the harsh desert climate. The registration of the Gholamzadeh House adds to the province’s growing list of preserved heritage sites, highlighting ongoing efforts to protect the cultural landscape of this historic region.
