The research aims to study an important and prominent aspect of a house from the role of the town of Tel Kaif as an attempt to see the legacy of this district through our field study and to identify the most prominent planning and architectural features of its landmark buildings which are considered a civilized and architect heritage and a kind of cultural heritgae. In a certain era, the aesthetic values and heritage characteristics of its material, cultural and intellectual production gathered. The research is about studying the planning and architecture of a residential building and it was reinforced with a set of plans that included detailed measurements of the building for both floors and illustrative pictures of the building units as well as personal interviews that were conducted with well-known people from the town and relatives of the owner of the house to find out the history of building the house and its affiliated arch to document it as one of the unstudied buildings which did not receive the attention and documentation of archaeologists before. It is unfortunate that it is subject to loss and demolition and then extinction and neglected. The Department of Antiquities and Heritage should take care of the districts and their heritage buildings and to document them to be a record so as to be full of its inhabitants and its cultural heritage. | ||
