The main building of this shrine is belonged to 7th and 8th centuries AH which consists of a square building with  50 square meters area that its architecture is the same as the Ilkhanid period. This building was repaired in Qajar dynasty and some parts added to it. Tiling and the interior painting of holy shrine is the same as the Qajar method.

Now, the new dome and minarets are being built in front of the previous ones parallel to the master development plan. Cultural equipment such as library, bookstore, appropriate facilities and parking are available in this shrine area.

The Imamzade Saleh shrine area was a completely enclosed place like the other shrines in Iran before changing street and rehabilitation of the area, but today it has extended out of the fence.
