History
The palace belonged to Habibollah Sabet (also known as Sabet Pasal), a rich Iranian businessman and the founder of Iran's first television station. The palace was seized by the Mostazafan Foundation during the Iranian Revolution and eventually became the property of Ali Ansari, managing director of Ayandeh Bank.
In 2015, the demolition of the palace was planned by the municipality. In May 2017, Iran's Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism obtained an agreement of non-demolition from the owner of the palace.[https://financialtribune.com/articles/people-travel/65401/sabet-pasal-mansion-safe-for-now Sabet Pasal Mansion Safe for Now], Financialtribune.com, 28 May 2017 On 12 June 2017, it was added to the Iran National Heritage List.[https://financialtribune.com/articles/people-travel/67009/sabet-pasal-inscribed-on-nat-l-heritage-list Sabet Pasal Inscribed on Nat’l Heritage List], Financialtribune.com, 23 June 2017[http://www.payvand.com/news/17/jun/1147.html Iran's "Versailles Palace" finally registered as National Heritage Site], Payvand.com, 27 June 2017
