People in Bukhara still honour the memory of Fayzulla Khodjaev. The fact that his family house became the Museum named after Fayzulla Khodjaev is another evidence of it. The house is located in famous Bukharan neighborhood Goziyon. The representatives of court nobility, rich merchants and traders lived here indigenously. Ubaydullokhoja, the father of Fayzulla Khojaev, built a number of houses in this block at the end of 1980s. He involved the most famous Bukharian architects who turned the house into a model of residential architecture in Bukhara.
