Mirza Riza Khan House, Cultural heritage monument in Borjomi, Georgia.

The Mirza Riza Khan House is a cultural heritage monument in Borjomi that combines Persian design elements with Georgian influences. The rooms feature wooden windows with colored glass and hand-painted decorative surfaces on walls throughout the structure.

Mirza Riza Khan, the Qajar consul in the Caucasus, built the house as a summer residence in 1892 and named it Firuz. The name, the year and the owner's name are carved into the decorative patterns on the facade. After his death the building served as a hotel, as part of the Firuz sanatorium and as a museum.

The house is named Firuz, meaning turquoise in Arabic, after the multicoloured turquoise stones set into the ceiling of the central balcony. The building's name, the year 1892 and the owner's name are carved into decorative patterns on the facade. After Mirza Riza Khan's death it served as a hotel, then as part of the Firuz sanatorium, and later as a museum.

The building sits in central Borjomi and is easily reached on foot. The rooms and stairs allow visitors to move through several levels of the house, where details can be observed everywhere.

The house's name, Firuze, comes from the turquoise stones set into the ceiling of the central balcony. The building's name, the year 1892 and the owner's name are carved into the decorative patterns on the facade. Azerbaijani master Yusuf, son of the famous master Hasan, worked on the construction and was taken to Tiflis, where he was killed. Belgian writer Tegyul Marie retold this story in her novel "White, Red, Black".
