History
The first home of the Persian Center in Berkeley is a 3 story facility located in the heart of beautiful Berkeley.
The building is a California preserved landmark and Persian Center's application to base it's first operation from this historic building was overwhelmingly approved by the Berkeley city council.
Covering over 4,500 Sq. feet, it houses a large reading room library, an exhibit room for permanent and visiting art, 3 furnished formal reception rooms, 5 networked computers with internet access (high quality Persian word processing available), and of course a full kitchen and food preparation area!
With easy access by car, BART and other public transportation, as well as the enthusiastic welcome offered by the City of Berkeley (many cities rejected similar applications for a center), this location was determined to be the most acceptable and convenient location to base the Persian Center's first property investment.
