A late-Ottoman Chios-style house where Atatürk spent a night in 1931, now showing local ethnography and Atatürk memorabilia.
The building, probably from the late nineteenth century, is described as Chios (Sakız) style because of its facade, plan, window shapes and ornament. It has two floors, each arranged around a central hall with rooms opening off it. In the early Republic it served as a party headquarters, and on 4 February 1931 Atatürk was hosted here for a night on his visit to Denizli.
From the 1950s it was assigned to the Ministry of Health and worked for a time as a tuberculosis dispensary. Registered as a monument in 1977, it was repaired and re-displayed for the centenary of Atatürk's birth and opened as a museum on 1 February 1984. After renovation and a new display it reopened on 4 February 1999.
The ground floor shows ethnographic objects, while upstairs two rooms are devoted to Atatürk and the others are arranged as a traditional mansion. One notable item is a red satin flag with gold embroidery, dated to the Islamic year 1327, beneath which Mufti Ahmet Hulusi Efendi is said to have spoken at the rally protesting the occupation of İzmir.


According to the Ministry’s listing it opens at 08:30 and closes at 17:30 (last entry 17:00). Closed: Monday.
