Local believe that this building was used as residence by Nawab Amir Khan, a Mughal Governor during Shah Jahan`s rule. This monument is built over the ruins of another building. It is a massive brick structure built in a rectangular shape. Though the two domes are still intact, the overall condition of the building is unsatisfactory.
