The mansion of Mostafā Qoli Khān Farrāshbāshi, which is known today as Khaneh-ye Shiran, is located in the Darb-e Koushk neighborhood of Isfahan. This mansion was built in the first decade of Zell-e Soltān's rule(1884-1875) in Isfahan and had unique features in authentic Iranian native architecture. The purpose of this research is to introduce Mostafā Qoli Khān Farrāshbāshi as the founder of the building and to examine its architecture and distinctive features. The research method is the historical and content analysis of research data with a descriptive and analytical approach based on documents, archival manuscripts and unpublished government reports, active interviews, and field and library studies. According to the findings of the research, Mostafā Qoli Khān, as Farrāshbāshi of Zell-e Soltān in Dār al-Saltaneh of Isfahan, was the ruler and official of the government and the approver of the civil accounts of some provinces under the rule of Zell-e Soltān. Also, he was one of the executive workers for the construction, restoration, and reconstruction of Isfahan barracks and the restoration and repair of some historical buildings of Isfahan during the golden period of Zell-e Soltān's rule (1874 to 1887) based on documents and manuscripts. In 1888, Mostafā Qoli Khān was suddenly removed from the position of Farrāshbāshi and the government of Iraq, and his properties were confiscated. Farrāshbāshi Mansion is one of the properties that Zell-e Soltān confiscated after the death of Mostafā Qoli Khān. The Farrāshbāshi mansion was built on a floor with two courtyards, nine-door, five-door halls, Gushvāreh, and sash rooms. According to the history of the main entrance and the extent of the facilities that the Farrāshbāshi Zell-e Soltān mansion should have, it seems that the mansion has benediction from the east, west and the second courtyard area, and its main door was located in Kucheh-ye Gerdu before Zikr Allāh Mosque.
