The Behnam House in Tabriz (for a somewhat wider view see [1]). The building in view is the Winter Building which stands to the North of the inner courtyard and faces towards the South.

The Behnam House (Persian: خانه بهنام, Khaneh-e Behnam) is one of the historical buildings of Tabriz, Iran, built during the later part of the Zand dynasty (1750-1794) and the early part of the Qajar dynasty (1781-1925), as a residential house. During the reign of Nasereddin Shah Qajar (from 1848 until 1896) this building was substantially renovated and embellished with ornamental paintings. The house consists of a main building, referred to as the Winter Building, and a smaller structure, referred to as the Summer Building. The Winter Building is a two-stories symmetrical construction standing on a basement. Like many traditional houses in Iran, this house has an inner (اندرونی, andaruni) and an outer (بيرونی, biruni) courtyard, the former being the largest of the two. In the course of a recent renovation project, some hitherto unknown miniature frescoes were discovered in this house which at present are being restored by specialists. The Behnam House is part of the School of Architecture of Tabriz Islamic Art University.
