Amerian House

Amerian House

The Āmeris' House, or "House of the Āmeri family" (خانه عامری ها), is a traditional house in Kashan, in Isfahan Province, in Iran.

Built in the mid 19th century during the Qajar era, the house is one of several large spectacular old houses in the central district of Kashan. Like the other houses around it, it was re-built after Kashan was ravaged by a series of massive earthquakes in the 18th century.
