The first owner of this place was a person named Haj Mehdi Koozekanani.After Mohammad Ali Shah bombard the parliament because of his assassination attempt, Haj Mehdi Koozekanani also gave his house to the constitutionalists to support them.Therefore, this house was the gathering place of famous people such as Sattar Khan, Baqer Khan and Siqat al-Islam Tabrizi. Other people, such as Haji Mirza Agha Farshi and Haj Mehdi Koozekanani himself, were also present at these gatherings to consult, decide, print and publish anti-government leaflets. As a result, this house became one of the most active centers for constitutionalists.
After the end of World War II and the occupation of Tabriz by Soviet forces, this place became a gathering place for the leaders of the democratic sect in Azerbaijan.
