The Shapouri House is an early twentieth-century mansion in central Shiraz, Iran, built between 1930 and 1935 during the early Pahlavi era. Designed by architect Abolghasem Mohandesi for wealthy merchant Abdolsaheb Shapouri, the residence exemplifies Pahlavi architectural style and was constructed of brick, tile, mortar, and wood. Situated in Shiraz's Anvari district, the two-story house encompasses 840 square metres of built space surrounded by an extensive garden of 4,635 square metres. Registered as a national heritage property in 2000, it stands as a significant example of early modern Iranian domestic architecture.
