Firuz al-Dawlah (فیروزالدوله)
He was the son of Kamran Mirza (کامران میرزا), son of Naser al-Din Shah (ناصرالدین شاه). Firuz al-Dawlah (فیروزالدوله) was the administrator (mobasher) of Moniriyeh School (مدرسه منیریه). The school was located on Khayyam Street (خیابان خیام), shortly before Mohammadieh Square (میدان محمدیه), adjacent to the shrine of Seyyed Naser al-Din (بقعه سید ناصرالدین).
The founder of the school and the adjoining mosque was Monir al-Saltaneh (منیرةالسلطنه), commonly known as Monir al-Saltaneh (منیرالسلطنه), sister of the Vazir Nezam (وزیرنظام), wife of Naser al-Din Shah (ناصرالدین شاه), and mother of Kamran Mirza Na’ib al-Saltaneh (کامران میرزا نایبالسلطنه). Following the death of Vazir Nezam (وزیرنظام), since he had no children, his inheritance passed to her. From this inherited estate, she established the school and a mosque adjacent to it. The school was completed in 1311 AH.
Originally, there had been a tekyeh adjacent to the shrine of Imamzadeh Seyyed Naser al-Din (امامزاده سید ناصرالدین), where mourning ceremonies and rowzeh-khani were held. Because the site had fallen into disrepair, Monir al-Saltaneh (منیرالسلطنه), following a religious ruling (fatwa) by Mirza Mohammad-Hasan Ashtiani (میرزا محمدحسن آشتیانی), converted it into a school and endowed properties in Tehran (تهران) and Mazandaran (مازندران) for its maintenance.
Moniriyeh School (مدرسه منیریه) had thirty-one cells, a library, and a teacher. Two theology students (talabeh) lived in each cell. Each cell received three rials per month for kerosene, while each student received twenty rials per month. The prayer leader and teachers were paid one hundred rials per month. On all religious festivals, each person received a plate of sweets and a two-thousand-dinar gold coin; coal was also provided during the winter.
During the reign of Reza Shah (رضاشاه), as a result of the widening of Khayyam Street (خیابان خیام), formerly known as Jalilabad (جلیلآباد), Moniriyeh School (مدرسه منیریه) fell within the new street alignment and was demolished. Only the school and several cells remained.
According to Balaghi (بلاغی), writing around 1350 SH, the school had by then become a coal-storage place for local shopkeepers, while the books from its library had been piled into one of the cells, whose door had been plastered shut for many years. Its administrator was Firuz al-Dawlah (فیروزالدوله), son of Kamran Mirza Na’ib al-Saltaneh (کامران میرزا نایبالسلطنه).
