Ressam Mehmet Yücetürk Sanat Merkezi

The building located in Merkez İlçe, Tabaklar Mahallesi, on sheet 1, block 317, parcel 10, was built in 1915 as masonry. On the facade of the rectangular-plan, single-storey building, the sides to the right and left of the entrance are arranged in the form of projections. On the south side, the basement was kept somewhat higher in order to conform to the slope of the land. The building is entered by a depressed-arched, stone-jambed, double-leaf door after a five-step staircase located in the middle. The door is wooden, and the upper parts of the door leaves are decorated with a wooden embossed console motif, while the middle parts are decorated with star motifs in lattice form. In the building, stone-jambed, round-arched windows were used, with those above the projections being smaller in size. After the main entrance, one passes through a second door from a small space into a large rectangular central space. The ceiling of this section is covered with a wooden covering arranged in a geometric form. Five small spaces open to the central space through doors. It is covered with a hipped roof. It has wide wooden eaves. It is still used as a Culture and Art Center.
