[citation needed] The Renaissance architecture-styled structure was built in sections starting in 1920.

As per customs at the time, madrassahs were named after the person who led the construction of the building.

History has it that Abul Kasim, a noted personality in Tashkent, was behind the erection of the building.

The reinstated historical monument's cells were occupied by workshops that specialised in crafting traditional souvenirs catering to the tourist industry.
