Mill Museum of Tehran will be launched

The Mill Museum of Tehran was restored by one
of the old residents of Yusef Abad, Tehran, and is scheduled to open in the New
Year.

The Yousef Abad water mill, which the city’s
custodians wanted to destroy a few years ago, but its owners did not allow the
destruction of the Qajar monument to be officially filed by its owners for the
national registration, is now scheduled to be turned into a mill in the year
98.

Cultural heritage journalists were invited by
the Cultural Heritage Bureau of Tehran province to visit the mill and found
that the owner intends to preserve this family heritage, even if all the
landowners in the surrounding area are building towers and commercial
complexes. Another family “The Ajayebis” in 1394, when they visited the
complex, announced that they intended to keep the building.

This ruined building in the Yousef Abad
district of Tehran was in a place where the city authorities wanted to add the
land to the mission.

This family told Mehr News Agency: “This
is our fatherly heritage.” In this wheat mill, the wheat of people of Vanak
and Yusef Abad and even Dera and Evin was milled. The mill has seen many years,
including the famine year.

Mr. Ajayebi remembers that his father at that
time gave each person two bags of flour and said whenever they could, they
return wheat instead.

He believes that the old town remembers this
mill quite well and keeping this legacy can be part of Tehran’s history. That
is why it is to stop and sell the city to maintain it, and now it has been
restored with the money that it has with the help of the cultural heritage of
the province of Tehran to turn into a mill museum.

Along with this water mill is still a
50-year-old bakery. This bakery is also in the hands of the Ajayebis, they plan
to offer different breads to the people in this bakery. That is, next year,
this place will be a collection of bakery mills.

In this regard, Memarzadeh cultural heritage
expert told Mehr News Agency: It is planned to pay for the construction of
sculptures, equipping the museum, etc., so that it can be used as a museum. The
land on the mill has now become green. If this land also joined the mill, it
could create a recreational and historical cultural complex that belongs to all
the people of the city. But the municipality does not agree, and tries to
separate the two.
