After the Ottoman conquest, it was initially converted to a small mosque without a minaret (mescit), and was known as "Laleli Cami-i Minareli Mescidi" in the 18th century.

Written in the talik style by a calligrapher named "Ârif", the inscription revealed the existence of a teacher's school ("Laleli Cami-i Minareli Mescit Muallimhâne Mektebi") at the site at the time.

In 1893 it was reported that the school consisted of a small room next to the mosque and was in disrepair, meaning that 80 children had to study in crowded and unhealthy conditions.

The inhabitants of the Abdi Çavuş quarter requested that the Evkaf Administration enlarge the school, and a renowned constructor of the time, Nikolaki Kalla, was entrusted with the construction.

[3] The mosque was repaired in the late 19th century by the Ottoman Imperial Ministry of Religious Foundations (Turkish: Evkaf-ı Hümayun Nezareti).

The mosque is rectangular in structure and has a length of 12.85 m and a width of 3.30 m. The narthex (son cemaat yeri) lies to the north and has three pointed arches.
