The Jajarmi historical complex covers an area of 600 square meters and has a square plan, which is considered an example of traditional architecture with a central courtyard, where all doors and windows open to the courtyard. The building is constructed in two stories on the east and west sides, and its entrance is connected to the central courtyard through an octagonal space. Two sets of stairs in the northeast and southwest corners lead to the upper floor rooms. There are 10 steps with a width of 30 centimeters, a height of 20 centimeters, and a length of 130 centimeters in this building, and the stairs are symmetrically placed on the east and west sides of the building.

Hosseiniyeh-e Jajarmi is built in two stories on the east and west sides where three types of simple crescent, kalil, and pointed arches have been served for construction of arcs. The ground floor of this building has a longer history than the upper floor and was originally used as a residential area. The upper floor does not conform structurally to the lower one, and religious ceremonies are held there. Various types of roofing, including flat and vaulted roofs, have been used in the building.
