Including Hossein Ali Khan Miyar al-Malik Baghi, who became known as Baghe Ferdows.

Hossein Ali Khan's son, Ali Khan Nezam o Dowlah, the architect of Isfahani and Yazdi, built a building in the southern part of the garden and called it the Baghe Ferdows. Stairs and other sections of the building were covered with Yazd marble and the walls of the room with outstanding golden papers; but his son, Dostomohammadkhan, did not pay much attention to the garden and its building, And over time, the building fell into ruin, to the extent that its marble stones were taken and taken to the Amiriyeh mansion (Madrese Neazam). Subsequently, the ownership of the garden was handed several times, until finally, in 1318, during the reign of Muzaffar al-Din Shah Qajar, Mohammad-ol-Khan the Sepahsalar Tonekaboni bought it from the heirs of Amin al-Malik.
