This historical, traditional building, which wore down over time, was furnished in 1991 in the manner used by the Şemaki family and converted into a museum. The walls of the large room on the upper floor of the two-storey house without a basement are plastered with gypsum and horasan, and the cupboard doors are decorated with paintings of İstanbul Kız Kulesi and Sarayburnu. The upper floor is wooden. In this section there is the “Sergâh Köşkü,” whose ceiling is separated by a wooden arch, and this place has been arranged as the space where the young girls of the house and the neighbors chatted and did handicrafts. The most interesting feature of this house, which is open to visitors on days other than Monday, is that no nails were used in its construction.
