ISTANBUL PROVINCIAL HOUSE

 

This building, which served as an inn and a caravanserai in the last period of the Ottoman Empire, operated as a minority primary school under the control of the Ministry of National Education in the first years of the Republic and became abandoned as a result of the exchange in 1950s.

 

The building, which was ruined until the 1980s, was rebuilt between 1987 and 1989 then started to be used as the Istanbul Provincial House.

 

The building, whose restoration started in 2011, was completed and put into service in 2012.
