Changes After Construction
After its initial foundation as a masjid, the building acquired the function of a mosque when Hibetullah’s son Hacı Halil had a minbar installed.
The structure fell into ruin over time, and for a period only the plot remained from the building.
The site functioned as a scrapyard for a long time.
In 1996, charitable local people had the mosque rebuilt in reinforced concrete, and the structure was opened for worship in the same year.

The structure is also known as Odun Yarıcızade Masjid.
The initial composition of the structure is fevkanî; the place of worship was arranged on an elevated level.
The fevkanî composition represents the small-scale masjid type in which the entrance-harim relationship is established by ascending steps.
The present-day structure is the 1996 reconstruction, and its load-bearing system is reinforced concrete.
Within the intramural settlement fabric along the Ayvansaray line, it is one of the examples representing the layered history of use of small-scale worship structures.
