According to the Public Relations Office of the university: The faculty and staff of Qom Industrial University participated in a blood donation program coinciding with the auspicious days of the Fajr decade and then, attending the residence of Imam Khomeini (RA), renewed their pledge to the ideals of the late Imam and the ever-immortal martyrs.
After donating blood, the faculty and staff of Qom Industrial University went to the historical house of Imam Khomeini (RA). According to the explanations provided by the caretaker of Imam Khomeini's residence (RA), this building is considered one of the important landmarks of Qom, rich in a unique political and social history. This house, which was the last residence of the Imam in Qom, is also known by the name of the Yakhchal Qazi neighborhood.
The house of Imam Khomeini (RA) in Qom is a simple structure consisting of a ground floor and a basement. The yard of this building is located to the south, with covered spaces on the east and west sides of the house.
The interior surfaces of this old house are unadorned and plastered. The exterior surfaces consist of plain brick walls and seamlessly plastered surfaces without any patterns or designs.
This house was purchased by Imam Khomeini (RA) around 1956, and prior to this, no house was owned by the Imam in Qom. The Imam lived there until 1963. He resided in this simple house until the last days and hours of the year 1963 when he was in Qom.
After the Imam's exile to Turkey, the aforementioned house was under the care of his family, which was later transferred to Ayatollah Pasandideh, the Imam's brother, following the change of exile location to Najaf and the relocation of family members to Najaf Ashraf. Eventually, in 1994, it was handed over by the late Haj Ahmad Khomeini to the office of the supreme leader.
It is noteworthy that in the center of the structure, there is a staircase that divides the building into two sections: the outer-eastern and the inner-western. In the outer part of the building, there is a large room that had hosted the Imam's listeners and students for many years.
Kabushinski, one of the Western Iranologists, describes the Imam's house as follows: "Imam Khomeini previously lived with his wife and five children in a small house located on a narrow and uneven street, through which a stream of water flowed down the middle."
This house was not only the Imam's residence but also the venue for many public meetings, speeches, and significant political sessions, one of which was his speech against the approval of the Capitulation Law.
The house of Imam Khomeini (RA) was registered as one of the national heritage sites of Iran on July 2, 1996, with registration number 1745.
