[[File:Renovation record of Padmashree Haldhar Nag Kavi Kutir.png|thumb|Record of the renovation of Haldhar Nag Kutir]]
The construction date of Padmashree Haldhar Nag Kavi Kutir is unknown. It was originally a kiosk built by Nag in his early years to sell [[stationery]] and [[snack]]s to nearby students.<ref>{{Cite web |title=हलधर नाग के लोक साहित्य पर विमर्श |url=https://www.dineshkumarmali.in/BlogView.aspx?Blog=1tlOUNurxHTQ8Po |website=Dinesh Kumar Mali |date=2022-03-25 |language=hi |quote= With the help of a well wisher Nag managed to build a kiosk in front of the school to sell stationaries and eatables... That cabin has now been renovated and serves as a memento for his admirers and scholars, who frequent the place for their research work these days.}}</ref>

Before the renovation, Haldhar Nag Kutir was dilapidated and dimly lit; the roof is made of iron sheets,<ref name="VirtualBharat">{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3wVXf4ohwA |title=Gulzar Presents: Haldhar Nag {{!}} Virtual Bharat {{!}} Short Film {{!}} Documentary |author=Virtual Bharat |date=2019-09-23 |language=en }}</ref> and the walls were paved with discarded [[Coca-Cola|Coke]] cans,<ref>{{cite AV media |people= |date= |year=2015 |title=Photo of writer E.Kiran Mohan in a candid conversation with poet Haldhar Nag |trans-title= |medium= |language= |url=https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VawLVWButY8/Vd3CHwgVfHI/AAAAAAAAC7E/z3LKW3wCuvU/s1600/DSCN1239.JPG |access-date= |archive-url= |archive-date= |format= |time= |location= |publisher=E.Kiran Mohan |id= |isbn= |oclc= |quote= |ref= }}</ref> and there are no [[toilet]] and other facilities. Haldhar Nag's [[manuscript]]s and [[poetry collection]]s had no [[cupboard]]s to store them, so they were piled in [[cardboard boxes]] and [[gunny sack]]s and placed under the bed, causing them to be damp due to improper preservation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ଡାକ୍ତର ଦମ୍ପତି ନିର୍ମାଣ କଲେ ହଳଧର ସଂଗ୍ରହାଳୟ ସାଧନା କୂଟୀର |url=https://odishasambad.in/haladhar-sangrahalaya-sadhana-kutira-built-in-baragarh-by-doctor-couple/ |website=Odisha Sambad |date=2020-09-26 |author=ଓଡ଼ିଶା ସମ୍ବାଦ ବ୍ୟୁରୋ}}</ref>

In 2019, Susmita Dash and Rajesh Tripathy, a doctor couple from [[Bargarh]], decided to renovate Haldhar Nag Kutir, and turn it into a gallery with Haldhar Nag's approval. The renovated Haldhar Nag Kutir displays all his [[award]]s and [[memorabilia]].<ref>{{cite news |author=newindianexpress |last= |first= |date=2020-09-26 |title=Kosli poet Haldhar Nag’s renovated house inaugurated |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/2020/Sep/26/kosli-poet-haldhar-nags-renovated-house-inaugurated-2202122.html |newspaper= |location= |accessdate=2024-05-28 }}</ref><ref>{{cite AV media |people= |date=2020-09-26 |year= |title=ଲୋକ କବି ହଳଧର ନାଗଙ୍କୁ ମିଳିଲାନି ସରକାରୀ ସହାୟତା: ସାଧନା କୁଟୀର ତିଆରି କଲେ ଡାକ୍ତର ଦମ୍ପତି |trans-title= |medium= |language=or |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTFz7hhFTss&ab_channel=News18Odia |access-date= |archive-url= |archive-date= |format= |time= |location= |publisher=News18 Odia |id= |isbn= |oclc= |quote= |ref= }}</ref> On September 25 of the following year, the renovation of the Haldhar Nag Kutir was completed and it was inaugurated by politicians [[Susanta Singh]] and [[Debesh Acharya]], as the chief guests.<ref name="odishatazanews">{{cite news |author=Abhimanyu Maharana |last= |first= |date=2020-09-25 |title=ପଦ୍ମଶ୍ରୀ ହଳଧର ନାଗ ସାଧନା କୁଟୀର ଓ ସଂଗ୍ରାହଳୟ ଉଦଘାଟିତ – ବରଗଡ଼ |url=https://odishatazanews.com/?p=20023 |website=odishatazanews |location= |accessdate=2024-05-28 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author=Nitidin |last= |first= |date=2020-09-25 |title=ପଦ୍ମଶ୍ରୀ ହଲଧର ନାଗଙ୍କ ସାଧନା କୁଟୀର ଓ ସଂଗ୍ରହାଳୟ ଉଦଘାଟିତ |url=https://www.nitidin.com/padmashree-haldhar-nag-sermon-and-musium-inaugurate/ |website=Nitidin |location= |accessdate= }}</ref>
