The first builder was Mirza'Ali Mohammad Khan Qavam in 1863, the second Qavamo'l-molk, who in 1284 A.H. (1867 A.D) began the construction, and bought the Limak stream, which rises in Qasr-e-Qomsheh, about 15 kilometers distant, for irrigating the garden, after which it reaches several districts of Shiraz. This garden is situated at a distance of about two kilometers to the west of Shiraz, south of the Qasro'd-dasht Avenue. With great taste, cypresses, plane trees, firs, pine trees, willows and junipers have been planted there, and a magnificent building, with a spacious tiled lower floor, and a stone dado with carved figures of soldiers in relief, and numerous halls and rooms and verandahs, has been erected there. It houses a beaufiful edifice following a combination of Achaemenian and Qajar architectures. It was used as the ex-king's residence whenever he travelled to Shiraz. The building has two floors with plaster work.The lower floor of the building is now military museum.
