The garden covered vast area at its earliest time; according to Qajar documentations its southern gate was at north of Baharestan Square, whereas it was limited eastwardly to Shemiran Gate, and westwardly to Safï Ali Shah street. There were various glorious buildings and halls in the garden-palace including “Delgoshä Building” [lively building], “Audience Hall”, “Ghalamdän Hall” [penholder hall], and several spring houses.
