Mohaghegh-e Sabzevari, Sah in Shah Abass ii period, was prominent Sheykh ol-islam in Isfahan.this house would has had more beauty in that time and could have been the best gift from the king for his daughter`s wedding. Of course the name of this house is derived from the landlords of that in Qajar and Safavid periods, that were Mohaghegh-e Sabzevari and Abu Abdullah who was known as Sheykh ol-islam Zanjani, who lived and taught in that house.

In Qajar era this house was a center for the people and also was something like the Judiciary, that in the time of Reza shah Pahlavi, Sheykh ol Islam turned it into a municipality.
