Believed to have been built in the second half of the 19th century, the mansion’s owner before the population exchange was known as the Adam family, a large family that also owned other houses in the vicinity. After the exchange, the mansion, which was inhabited by the Özdemir family, has been used for many years by a foreign entrepreneur and operates under the name “La Lotus Art Gallery.” The building, in its general appearance, resembles a basilica-plan structure.
The two-story, three-section building’s most characteristic feature is its triple-pitched roof. The main entrance is located on the east facade, leading to an enclosed courtyard. Several other houses with similar triple-pitched roofs exist in the village. The most significant of these is located directly behind this mansion, across the street. The basement is constructed using carving techniques. The ground and first floors, built using masonry, feature stone walls, while the doors, ceilings, and windows are made of wood. The cornices separating the floors are in the form of two rows of corbels, carved in stone, and, along with the stone carvings around the windows, add dynamism to the facade.
