The Dafine building was built in 1356 by famous Iranian architects, Mr. Nizam Ameri and Mr. Kamal Kamuneh, based on the "Organic Frank Lloyd Wright" school of architecture. The concrete facade of this building is the first prefabricated facade of Iran in the form of one-piece molding, derived from pearls. Due to the architectural value of the building, it was registered in the list of national works of Iran in 2016. In general, the first cultural museum activity of this building began in 1368, during which a part of the building space was dedicated to the "Museum of Historical Burials".
