In a certain era, the aesthetic values and heritage characteristics of its material, cultural and intellectual production gathered. The research is about studying the planning and architecture of a residential building and it was reinforced with a set of plans that included detailed measurements of the building for both floors and illustrative pictures of the building units as well as personal interviews that were conducted with well-known people from the town and relatives of the owner of the house to find out the history of building the house and its affiliated arch to document it as one of the unstudied buildings which did not receive the attention and documentation of archaeologists before.
