Gasimov brothers

[2] According to Fuad Akhundov, Gasimovs, who built most of the houses of Musa Naghiyev in Baku,[3] carried out the construction work of all buildings raised at that time on the current streets of Istiglalliyyat, and 28 May.

[4] Gasimov brothers' father, Haji Mammad Ali Molla Gasim oghlu, owned a workshop for dyeing wool for carpets in Ordubad.

The construction by the Gasimov brothers was carried out completely on a turnkey basis: the customer, having been familiarized with the project, only contributed with money and received the finished mansion by the appointed time.

The rehearsals of the first national Azerbaijani opera "Leyli and Majnun",[6][7] in 1907, were held in a large hall on the third floor of the Gasimovs' house.

[8] Imran Gasimov, a close friend of Uzeyir Hajibeyov, himself suggested this to the composer and took an active part in the preparation of the opera.

Kasumov, who took on the acting pseudonym "Kengerlinsky", also played two roles in the premiere production of the opera "Leyli and Majnun" on 25 January 1908 - Leili's father, Fattah, and Mejnun's friend, Zeid.

After a fire in a well-known bookstore at the intersection of Nikolaevskaya and Persidskaya streets (nowadays Istiglaliyyat and Murtuza Mukhtarov, respectively), Imran Gasimov completely took over not only its reconstruction, but also the purchase of new valuable books.

[11][12] On 25 November 1918, a grandson is born to Haji Gasimov who is called Imran, in the memory of the tragically deceased brother of his grandfather.

According to Fuad Akhundov, the contracting office of the Gasimov brothers participated in the construction of all houses on the current streets of Istiglaliyyat, and 28 May.

[54] Subsequently, the building housed the Ali Bayramov Women's Turkic School,[55][56] the Shirvanshahs Museum and the Wedding Palace.
