The Sedigh Historic House is located in Damghan, Semnan Province, on 12 Farvardin Street, next to the Lotfi House. This valuable historic building dates from the Qajar period and is regarded as one of the most distinctive historic houses in the city. With an area of more than 789 square metres, the Sedigh House stands in the old quarter of Damghan, and because its original structure has been relatively well preserved, it is considered one of the important examples of historic residential architecture in the city. It was added to the Iran National Heritage list under registration number 22753 and holds a special place among the historic buildings of the region.
Architecturally, the Sedigh House is built on two floors, using materials such as brick, stone and gypsum plaster, which give it a white, plastered look. The main rooms are in the northern part of the building, and the presence of a wind catcher (badgir) shows attention to the region's hot, dry climate. The front porches (iwans), with sturdy columns rising to the ceiling, give the façade a striking appearance. Artistic decoration such as brickwork and delicate plaster carvings further enhances the building's architectural value and has made it one of the most notable historic houses of Damghan.
The Sedigh House is easy to reach from inside Damghan via 12 Farvardin Street, and because it lies within the urban fabric, visiting it requires no special or difficult route. The best times to visit this historic site are spring and autumn, when the weather is more pleasant for strolling through the city's historic quarter. Visiting during the day is recommended so that you can see the architectural details and decoration of the building properly. When visiting, it is important to follow the principles of nature tourism and responsible travel, including keeping the surroundings quiet, not damaging the building and respecting the surrounding historic neighbourhood.
