ENTRANCE DOOR
The entry of the house is often modest, the pediment and the frontage of intersected brick have been renovated. The wall which separates the lane from the house is not bored of any opening or window.
The door out of wooden is covered with ornaments and metal nails with two door-knockers. They are heavy metal hinged levers fixed to the door. The sound produced by, if banged on the plate to striking metal, makes it possible to differentiate the arrival from a visitor man or woman.
This door is always located in a recess, with sometimes two benches to sit down on both sides (pir-neshin). The name of God is often applied on the top of this door out of wooden to a ceramics (kashi) or simply engraved in a stone, being detached subtly from the frontage.
The dimensions and the proportions of the main door oblige the person to be curved slightly to cross it and to mark a little pause as a sign of respect.
All around the two laps of the door a poem evoking Badrood is carved, composed by Dr. Mohammad Rahgoshay, owner of the house. He requests God to maintain in his house four essential values : health, love, friendship and joy.
