The building which was built in the 1920s, was once lived in by Sheikh Fouad al Khateeb, poet and for a time advisor at the Court of King Abdullah. Later, in the mid 1950s, it was inhabited by Prime Minister Suleiman Nabulsi. In 1995 it was restored to serve as quarters and studios for visiting artists. In 2002, the house was dedicated to the memory and legacy of Darat al Funun’s patron Khalid Shoman and named Dar Khalid.
