Registered as a national heritage, Shapouri House is an early 20th-century house in Shiraz, southern Iran, built in the early years of Pahlavi dynasty (1925-1979). Designed and built by Abol Qasem Mohandesi between 1930 and 1935, its owner was Abdol Shahab Shapouri, a wealthy Iranian merchant.

As a two-floor house built in a 4,635-square-meter garden, Shapouri House is different from other historical buildings of the region in that it has a balcony with 14 pillars, an innovation in Iranian architecture at the time, persiaport.com.
