Changes After Construction
The mosque was closed due to neglect and remained only as four walls; being used as a wood warehouse and lumber workshop for many years.
In 1950, it was repaired and opened for worship with the support of the neighborhood residents and tradesmen under the leadership of Cemalettin Lokman Cankurtaran.
The wall of the building facing the street, which has deviated from its original appearance, is made of stone and brick, and the courtyard was covered and turned into a congregation area; a fountain and toilet were added.

According to legend, the founder of the mosque, Müeyyedzade Mehmet Effendi, is known as a miraculous baby who survived by suckling his dead mother.
Müeyyedzade Mehmet Efendi, who was then taken to the palace and rendered great services to the Ottoman Empire, had the mosque built for this memory.
The mosque was built on an area of 350 square meters and partially preserves its historical identity with its original minaret.
Müeyyedzade Mehmet Efendi's grave is adjacent to the wall of the mosque.
