The building was constructed in place of the alms house of the former social complex of Abdulhamid I. Designed in 1911 along with the other foundation buildings its construction commenced in 1912 but remained half -finished due to the war until 1926 when it was finally completed. The seven-storey building has a steel frame structure.
