The remains of the Gout house [Yeşil Köşk = Green Mansion] in the 1970s. According to information Kararas received from William Blackler, John Gout arrived in Smyrna in 1792 and was in the carpet trade and bought this land from a Turkish Pasha. Lord Byron was a visitor here in 1810 and in 1894 the property was sold to Bliss, a manager in the Mac Andrews and Forbes Company. This house later passed on to the ownership of the Gordon family and with his death in 1902, was sold to a Turk. The house and row of cypress trees were demolished in 1955. |
