After the Safavid Government, the importance of the city of Isfahan diminished and many buildings were abandoned due to the transfer of the government center and the government compound fell into ruin. After the beginning of the Qajar dynasty and the efforts of the ruler of Isfahan Mirza Hosein Khan Sadr Isfahani, Isfahan began flourishing again and wealthy families of merchants and landlords were formed. As a result, the construction of houses with common architecture and influenced by the social status of its owners began. This research has been done with the method of historical interpretive research. The required data have been collected and analyzed from documentary sources, field studies, annexes and oral histories. Findings show that the meaning of social status is manifested through spatial characteristics in three scales: micro (home), medium (neighborhood) and macro (district).
