This masjid no longer exists, but it is known through the antiquity registry file recorded by K. Turfan. His record from 1955 mentions a single-story, rectangular building. The sides of the door with a depressed arch were made of solid ashlar. Its windows had cut stone lintels, and it was covered with a Turkish-style tile roof. The mihrab consisted of a simple arched niche, and there was no pulpit.
The surviving Tomb of Aşık Doğan Dede in the Tahılpazarı Neighborhood was most likely related to the masjid. The Ottoman explorer Evliya Çelebi visited the city in the 17th century and recorded the building as “Aşık Doğan Sultan near Murad Paşa Mosque.”
