The Bulgur Palas, originally known as the Bolulu Habip Bey Mansion, is a 1912-built historical mansion located in Istanbul in Turkey. After its acquisition by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in 2021, it was restored and redeveloped into a library and cultural center for public use.
History
The Bulgur Palas is located on Kocamustafapaşa Hill, which is one of the Seven hills of Istanbul,[1] at Kargı Çıkmazı 5, in Aksaray in the Fatih municipality of Istanbul, Turkey. The mansion was commissioned by Mehmet Habip Bey (1878–1926),[1] a soldier and a deputy of Bolu from the Committee of Union and Progress in the Ottoman Parliament of the Second Constitutional era (1908–1920).[2] The architect was Giulio Mongeri.[3] It is claimed that the house, also called the Bolulu Habip Bey Mansion, was financed by the black market trade in grain and bulgur, a cracked wheat foodstuff, during World War I.[1] Habip Bey was arrested after the Armistice of Mudros in 1918, and exiled to Malta in 1919, leaving construction unfinished.[1][2][3] As a result of financial difficulties he encountered during that period, the house was mortgaged to the Ottoman Bank as security for a loan.[1]
After Habip Bey died suddenly in 1926 from a heart attack, the building was transferred to the Ottoman Bank as collateral for the family's debts. For a period of time, the mansion was used as a bank archive, and its three apartments as residences for bank employees and their families. Interestingly, a room in the downstairs was reserved as a birdhouse for hundreds of domestic canaries,[4] which were probably raised to live in the branches of the Ottoman Bank.[2] The building was later abandoned.[3] In 1955, the mansion became the target of looting during the Istanbul pogrom because of the non-Muslim families living there at that time and the non-Turkish character of the Ottoman Bank.[2] The building remained under the ownership of the Ottoman Bank and passed in 2001 into the ownership of Garanti Bank, which had acquired the Ottoman Bank.[1]
In 2021, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality purchased the Bulgur Palas,[4] and began efforts to restore the building, intending to open it to the public as a document center, archive, library, exhibition hall, and café. The building was opened to visitors on 28 February 2024.[5]
Architecture
The structure was designed in 1912 by Giulio Mongeri (1873–1951), an Ottoman Empire–born architect of Italian descent.[6] It exhibits traces of the First national architectural movement.[7]
The building consists of five floors:[8] one cellar, three full floors and one half floor.[9] There is also an observation terrace.[8] The main body of the building is constructed with unplastered red brick, and only the part with the towers is plastered. There is a railing-free deck around the domed roof at the top. The mansion is surrounded by extremely high walls.[2]
Bulgur Palas features 3,750 m2 (40,400 sq ft) of covered space in 81 independent sections, a 1,750 m2 (18,800 sq ft) open area, a 1,000 m2 (11,000 sq ft) outbuilding, and a 9 m2 (97 sq ft) ornamental pool.[1] The newly established library section with 150-seat capacity contains about 25,000 books and documents.[8]
