  ## About
  
  The house or mansion of Panah Khan Makinski was built in the style of the Khan's palace in Iravan. The residential complex belonging to Panah Khan, the son of Suleyman Khan, a member of the Iravan City Duma, a college advisor, is located in the square named after him, at Nalbandyan Street-19 (former Ter-Gukasov Street). The complex included the khan's two-story house, kitchen, storeroom, one-story house for servants and stables in separate courtyards. The building was included in the list of architectural monuments protected by the state in Yerevan, but in the 1960s and 1970s, it became unrecognizable after inappropriate objects were built around the building and reached the point of extinction due to neglect. The area where Panah Khan Makinsky's house is located was called Panah Khan Square or Panah Khan Boulevar.
