This gate was built in order to enter Mashakh Square during the time of Feth Ali Shah Qajar and it was called "Mashakh Square Gate". Mashakh Square was one of the largest military squares in Tehran and was under the control of the Shahneshahi army. After the construction of this gate, it was planned to establish the first public garden of the capital called "Meli Garden" in the inner lands of Masakh Square, and after that the name of this gate was changed to "Sardar Bagh Meli". The national garden did not last more than a few years; However, with the construction of many buildings such as the National Library, the Museum of Ancient Iran and the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this headland is called "Meli Garden Headland". Currently, there is nothing left of Masakh square and only its main building remains.

Regarding the history of Mashakh Square, it was established during the time of Fath Ali Shah Qajar and developed and expanded during the period of Naseruddin Shah. This building, which has walls consisting of brick arches around it and has a gate with a double door and two arches, was made square in order to respect Mohammad Hassan Khan Sepahsalar. Mashakh Square is actually located in the area between Post Alley and Sepeh Bank, on Imam Khomeini Street. In the following years, a building in the Russian style of architecture was built in the northwest of Sardar Naseri, which was the center of the state Kazakh Khanate and was managed by European and Russian military advisers. This mansion is actually part of the oldest existing building in Mashakh square. After the Qajar period and with the beginning of the Pahlavi dynasty, when western urban planning patterns entered the country, the order of this building was also disrupted. By disrupting the order of urban patterns, the ground was provided for the transformation of the structure of the feudal or pre-capitalist Iranian society. At that time, Reza Khan moved the barracks outside of Tehran and vacated Mashakh Square and decided to build administrative facilities there. This building later became a national garden, but it did not last for a few years, and after that, buildings such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Library, and the Museum of Ancient Iran began to be built in it. In this square, two guard posts located in the western and eastern parts have been destroyed, and the beautiful and unique view of the Sardar building is somewhat affected by its two neighboring buildings.
