According to Rethinking Kuwait, Al-Shamlan Mosque (also known the roundabout mosque) was built in 1922 and renovated in 1959. This Kuwait Times article about roundabouts mentions the mosque. An aerial image of the mosque is included in an 1969 National Geographic article about Kuwait, a similar photo was posted on 248. The illustration of the mosque and black-and-white photograph come from The Kuwait Urbanization by Saba George Shiber. The final photographs were posted on reddit.

Here are old postcards found on eBay or Delcampe featuring Kuwait’s Roundabout Mosque.

This map from 1978, published by the Kuwait State of Commerce and Industry, shows the mosque. The 1976 book “Kuwait” by Ralph Shaw also features images of the mosque. The book “Business Man’s guide to the Arabian Gulf States” published in 1971 features an aerial image of Kuwait with the mosque visible.

These images come from this article.
