History
Bottle House was built in 1966-1967. As the name says for itself the building was built from bottles. Indeed, in return for the communist regime’s preference for «equality» in all areas, it was not an easy task to build a house with bottles in one of the central corners of Ganja which gained unusualness due to its application to construction.
In our opinion, the building was created only by the house owner Ibrahim Jafarov’s (who dedicated the building to the memory of his brother Yusif, who did not return from military service) architectural and artistic imagination that later became a unique architectural example which allowed its completion by the confidence of the leaders of the institutions.
