The deed was signed by Swami Suviranandaji Maharaj, the general secretary of Ramakrishna Math.

The building was dis reputed as a haunted house as two persons had committed suicide there and hence it was available cheap.

[1] The house was fairly large, quadrangular, two storey building comprising two sections, outer and inner.

[1] When the Math premises were shifted, at that time most of the brother disciples of Sri Ramakrishna, including Swami Vivekananda, were wandering monks in various parts of India.

Girish Chandra Ghosh, the famous playwright and father of modern theater in India, used to visit the monastery as a devotee.

In 1896, Dr. Turnbull, who had heard Swami Vivekananda in Chicago and was an ardent fan, visited Alambazar Math.

He advised them on management affairs, Governing Body and also the organization structure and activities of the proposed monastery.

[1] After his return from the West, Swami Vivekananda, stayed for sometime in the Alambazar Math and here he framed the rules and guidelines for a future Ramakrishna Order.

An earthquake on 12 June 1897 caused much damage to the building, and the monastery had to be shifted to Nilambar Mukherjee's garden house in Belur.

Slowly all the rooms were occupied by the newly established Sri Ramakrishna Satyananda Ashrama and most of the tenants agreed to leave after being paid hefty compensation.

As part of the celebration of 150 years of Swami Vivekananda, the Government of India has officially recognized the Alambazar Math as a national heritage structure and has initiated a project to restore the building and set up a Vivekananda Centre for Spiritual Culture.
