Qavam House (also widely called "Narenjestan e Ghavam") is a traditional and historical house in Shiraz, Iran. It is at walking distance from the Khan Madrassa. It was built between 1879 and 1886 by Mirza Ibrahim Khan. The Qavam family were merchants originally from Qazvin. But they soon became active in the government during the Zand dynasty, followed by the Qajar, and Pahlavi dynasty as well. The Qavam "Naranjestan" preserves the elegance and refinement enjoyed by the upper-class families during the 19th century. The paintings on the low ceilings of the house are inspired by Victorian era Europe. The mirrored porch was a focal point of the house, overlooking a small garden that was designed with fountains, date palms, and flowering plants. During the second Pahlavi era, the House became the headquarters of Pahlavi University's Asia Institute, directed by Arthur Upham Pope and Richard Nelson Frye. Frye and his family also lived in the house for a while. The house today is a museum and is open to the public.

باغ نارنجستان قوام از جاهای دیدنی استان فارس در شیراز است و در محله «بالاکفت» و در قسمت شرقی انتهای خیابان لطفعلیخان زند قرار دارد. این محدوده تقریبا در نقطه انتهایی و شرقی شهر قدیم واقع شده است؛ محلی که در گذشته دروازه دولت، دروازه منذر و کل شیخ ابوذرعه قرار داشتهاند. از دیگر دیدنیهای تاریخی اطراف این مجموعه میتوان به خانه زینتالملوک، مسجد نصیرالملک و خانه سنتی پرهامی اشاره کرد که با فاصله کمی با هم در خیابان لطفعلیخان زند واقع شدهاند. دسترسی برای دسترسی به این مجموعه میتوانید از سمت چهارراه نمازی در طول خیابان لطفعلیخان زند به سمت شرق حرکت کرده و پس از گذشتن از مسجد نصیرالملک، این مجموعه را در سمت چپ خود مشاهده کنید. در ساعات شلوغ روز پارک کردن در این منطقه کمی با مشکل رو به رو است که با توجه به طول مناسب خیابان، میتوان اتومبیل را در فاصله معقولی متوقف کرد. مجموعه قوام بین سالهای ۱۲۵۷ تا ۱۲۶۷ خورشیدی مقارن با حکومت ناصرالدینشاه قاجار، به دستور علیمحمدخان قوام ساخته شده و از دو قسمت بیرونی (موزه نارنجستان) و اندرونی (خانه زینتالملوک) تشکیل شده که به وسیله تونل به هم مرتبط هستند. این بنا به عنوان دارالحکومه یا محل انجام امور سیاسی، نظامی و دیدار با نمایندگان دولتهای خارجی مورد استفاده بوده است. بنای نارنجستان در سال ۱۳۴۵ خورشیدی به دانشگاه شیراز اهدا شد و در فاصله سالهای ۱۳۴۸ تا ۱۳۵۸ خورشیدی، در اختیار موسسه آسیایی، به سرپرستی «پروفسور آرتور اپهام پوپ»، ایرانشناس مشهور قرار داشت. کل مساحت این مجموعه ۳,۵۰۰ متر مربع است و ساختمانهای آن که در دو ضلع شمالی و جنوبی واقع شدهاند، زیربنایی معادل ۹۴۰ متر مربع دارند. از دیگر بناهای موجود در این مجموعه میتوان به حمام گچینه، حسینیه قوام، مکتبخانه قوام (خانه عراقیها)، اندرونی قوام (منزل زینتالملوک)، دیوان خانه قوام (نارنجستان) و حمام اختصاصی قوام اشاره کرد. البته در گذشته اصطبل و زنجیرخانه و بازارچهای هم در این مجموعه وجود داشت که در اثر احداث خیابان لطفعلیخان زند از بین رفتهاند. پلان قدیمی باغ نارنجستان قوام این دو ساختمان توسط معماران و هنرمندان شیرازی با استفاده از هنرهایی از قبیل آیینهکاری، منبتکاری، نقشپردازی، آجرکاری، معرقکاری، حجاری، گچبری، مقرنسکاری و... تزیین شدهاند. با ورود از زیر ساختمان جنوبی و فروشگاه لوازم سنتی و تزیینی، با محوطهای بسیار زیبا و متقارن از درختان نارنج و نخل روبهرو میشویم که به ساختمان اصلی بسیار پر رنگ و نور و آیینهکاری شده منتهی است.
