History of Lari Ha House

Lari Ha House is a 150-year-old building and its construction dates back to Qajar era. The owner of this property was a prominent tradesman called Haj Mohammad Ebrahim Lari. It was established by a man called Haj Gholam Hossein Molazinal. Lari People first moved from Shiraz to Yazd for trade purposes about 270 years ago and settled in different regions of Yazd.

The walls of Lari Ha House had been the sources of safety and shelter to various generations of these families. Though it was a luxury house receiving too much attention by everyone until the end of Reza Shah’s reign, it was transformed to ruins and it underwent many damages after that. In 1984, Yazd National Heritage Organization bought the mansion from Ali Yazdi Nejad, the owner of the house, and used it as one of its offices after renovation.
