This historic structure is believed to have been built by Qudsiya Begam during the reign of her son, Ahmad Shah. It reflects the traditional Mughal architectural style. The rectangular building stands on an elevated ground and features a three-arched dalan (veranda), supported by double fluted Shahjahani columns, opening to the west. It is flanked by side chambers on both the north and south sides. The courtyard is accessed by a flight of steps from the west. The ceiling of the structure is flat, and there is a staircase at the north end leading to the flat roof. The building is constructed using Lakhori bricks set in lime mortar, with red and buff sandstone, and is finished with plaster. The structure carries local and traditional significance, being a fine example of Mughal-era architectural heritage.
