Built around 1903-1906 by the Greek architect Vafiadi. With the population exchange of 1924 was given to Dr. Kemalettin Yalaz who lived there until 1942 whose descendants still own the property. As a tenant Stephanie Farkoh lived here till around 1965, later occupied by the Turkish doctor ‘Selçuk bey’ (1980s-1995), and since then suffering much collapse. The family has for the past few years tried in vain to restore this building, and the Heritage commission, will only sanctify a 100% of original restoration - information courtesy of Zeynep Özis, grand-daughter of Dr Yalaz. |
