Changes After Construction
In 1785 (Hijri 1200), Sheikh Kâmil Seyyid Mustafa bin es-Seyyid Ali Efendi repaired the lodge.
In 1884 (Hijri 1302), the lodge underwent repairs during the reign of Abdülhamid II.
After the closure of the dervish lodges and zawiyas, the buildings were damaged; in 1940, the Directorate of Foundations had the tevhidhane demolished, and some of the other sections disappeared over time.
In 2015, Üsküdar Municipality restored the lodge and reopened the structure for use.

The names Alaca Minare Lodge, Hacı Dede Lodge, and El-hac İbrahim Efendi Lodge were also used.
The lodge took its name from the Alaca Minare Masjid located opposite it.
It is associated with the Naqshbandi tradition; its ritual day is Thursday.
Within the complex there were units of masjid/semahhane, soup kitchen, ancillary building, fountain, small bath, and cemetery section; today, a significant part of these has disappeared.
The Hüsameddin Agha Fountain dated 1791 stood at the entrance of the lodge; the cemetery section still survives today.
