Davidkhanian Mansion

There were also many separate buildings on the property for family members, as well as a lily pond, four tennis courts, stables for the horses, and a rose garden.

To rectify this grievance, and support his community, Martiros Khan Davidkhanian built a large bathhouse behind one of his mansions for the exclusive use of the Armenians of Iran.

Following a long career in the Iranian military, Alexander Khan Setkhanian retired to the Davidkhanian mansion, relinquishing his responsibilities leading the Persian Cossack Brigade.

Immediately following his retirement, Reza Khan, only a Sarhang (colonel) at the time, was promoted to Sartip, and began to rapidly rise through the ranks of the Brigade until becoming the leader of a regiment in Tehran.
