Tavana House is located in the corner of Shah-Abul-Qasim neighborhood and it is 150 meters away from the east side of Jame Mosque. This house is located in the dense residential context of the city. The building in question has an area of 410 square meters, it is a neighbor of Sandughsazha Maidan-Hosseiniyeh and adobe houses. In terms of architectural design, this house has a courtyard with unequal sides and the built spaces are located on both the west and south sides. There is a porch with a ruined arch and rooms next to it and spaces following each other in a linear order on the south side. Different components are placed in the house plan. In the national registry file and some other descriptions, the construction date of this house is attributed to the 8th century of Hijri. With the assumption that the building has undergone many changes and transformations over time, the question is "what were the architectural changes of the house and what were the features of the original building of the house"? The research method is "historical-analytical" and while examining and analyzing the existing evidence in the building, it is possible to understand the ambiguities by conducting comparative studies and analyzing the architectural evidence. The aim is to get a clear picture of the historical developments of the house. The plan of the house in the first period conforms to the pattern of the 8th century houses in Yazd. In its first form, the building had a porch with a small courtyard. The space of the missing eastern and northern parts of the house and the entrance system can be guessed. In the first plan, the north side had a short porch equal to the width of the south porch, and the east side could have been composed of two rows similar to the west side. The entrance was in the form of a corridor that had a ninety degree turn and entered the courtyard from the east side.
