After Farid Passed Away, His Family Left Everything Inside This Home

This modest home belonged to Farid Mansouri for nearly thirty years.
Farid worked as a bookbinder, repairing damaged volumes and hand-binding journals, religious texts, and family records for local customers and neighborhood libraries.
The home remained simple:
dining room, compact kitchen, bedroom, and a narrow binding room where Farid repaired pages and prepared covers by hand.

The Press Table Niche

Several details still remain inside:

• leather cover sheets stacked neatly
• binding thread stored inside wooden drawers
• paper presses resting beside the wall
• reading lamps positioned near shelves
• handwritten customer receipts tied together
• cloth aprons hanging near hooks
• unfinished book spines preserved beneath the niche
  Farid had lived alone since the passing of his wife several years earlier.
  The binding room became the center of his routine.
  Neighbors often described the quiet tapping of presses and the smell of paper glue drifting through open windows.
  
  In later years, rising material costs and the closure of several small libraries sharply reduced much of Farid’s work.
  Still, he continued repairing family books and accepting occasional commissions from longtime customers.
  One evening, while working late inside the binding room, Farid suffered a fatal seizure and passed away before help could arrive.
  His children returned for the funeral but lived permanently overseas.
  Disagreements over inheritance and responsibility delayed any decision about the property.
  The house remained locked.
  Most belongings were never moved.
  
  Today the home still reflects Farid’s daily work.
  The presses remain beside the wall.
  The leather sheets still rest near the table.
  And beneath the press table niche, Farid’s final unfinished binding remains exactly where he left it.
