The edifice known as Firuz Shah's Palace and Tahkhana was built by Firuz Shah Tughluq, the Sultan of Delhi (CE 1351-1388). The palace was built of rubble masonry covered with thick lime plaster. Its arches are supported on sandstone carved pillars of Hindu temples. The palace-complex consists of an open courtyard on the sides of which are placed two to three-storeyed structures. In the massive western wall of the palace, is embedded a passage to which steps lead from the terrace. The passage meant for roofs guarding the palace, is provided with bastions, the hollow core of which has a pillared hall connected with other rooms and cells of the palace. The eastern side of the palace contains some structures in red sandstone which are of later origin. A lotus tank which is situated on the terrace is also a later addition.
