That is why, when the construction began, the local people say to the customer, “Karbalai, you have chosen a bad place, you waste money in vain.” He replied, “Do not talk about it, it's a good place. Even the governor planted a garden for me in front of the house.” [3][1]

In 1909, a contest on the design of this house was announced in former Russian Empire, and the author of the building, Gabriel Ter-Mikelov, won the first prize.[4] During the Soviet era, the Central Executive Committee of the Azerbaijan SSR was located in the building.[1]
