It is dedicated to the name of the architect ‘Ghanashyam’ who built the masonry buildings, temples and other structures at Joysagar locality. It resembling a gate house. Islamic architectural influence can be seen on the arches of the door openings.

Ghanashyam House is a magnificent structure which bagged its name from the architect ‘Ghanashyam’. The monument is a terracotta brick temple which is nestled on the bank of the Joysagar tank. The present day Joysagar College is near the monument. Ghanashyam House is also known as Nati Gosain Dol or Ghanashyam Dol. Ghanashyam House’s artwork and architecture is inspired by Islamic architecture. The door openings with arches resemble Islamic architecture. Terracotta works can be seen all over the walls of the monument. The temples of Bishnupur in West Bengal are similar to the Ghanashyam House in terms of architecture. A common boundary wall covers the monument’s three independent structures. It also has a Kitchen House or the Bhog Ghar. The monument does not have any similarity with any typical Hindu temple and also does not have any picture. The windows in this monument face towards west, north and east side walls.
