Asset Overview
This facade is one of the few remaining examples of the old Persian archeticture of this distrcit. A friend of mine, Gurdeep, also known as Avara the Wanderer told me that it's called the Mullah's House as it's situated near by the old mosque of the district.

Kond, which means long hill in Armenian, is one of the three original districts of Yerevan, and was formerly known as Tepebashi during the 17th-century Persian rule.
Kond was inhabited by Safavid/Qajar Persians, Tatars (Azeris), and Armenians. It's currently the only remaining district of 3 districts of Yerevan during the Safavid Persian rule. Today, it's not in good shape and lacks many basic infrastructure that the rest of the neighborhoods of Yerevan have.
