History.
The two-storied Kachharibari was built in 1892 on of land. The management of land rent was conducted from this Kachharibari. The Tagore family used Shilaidaha Rabindra Kuthibari for living, but Rabindranath Tagore managed the zamindari sitting in the Kuthibari. He did not go to Kachharibari without special reason.
Before Rabindranath Tagore's zamindari acquisition, there was a separate seating arrangement for Hindus and Muslims in the assembly of the people of the Kachharibari. Rabindranath Tagore abolished this practice. Apart from collecting the zamindari rent, fairs were held in the grounds of this building. Rabindranath Tagore used to visit this fair.
The building was under "Kushtia District Administration". In 2020, the "Kushtia District Administration" handed over the building to the Department of Archaeology .

From May 2023, the Department of Archeology started the renovation of the building.
