Constructed in 1868 by Haj Vali Me’mar-e Tabrizi<\/strong>, the two-story building reflects the Qajar period’s architectural elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Haj Mehdi Koozekonani<\/strong>, a merchant and a significant financier of the revolution, owned it. The house was a hub for revolutionary meetings and the publication of underground papers advocating constitutional reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post World War II, it became the center for Azerbaijan’s Democrat Party meetings. In 1975, the Constitution House was registered as a cultural heritage site in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
