1908

Sipahioglu House is in village Yoruk near Safranbolu, Turkey.. It

is a traditional Ottaman Turkish style house.. Although the oldest

houses in the village were constructed in the 17th century according

to their date plaques, the majority date from the late 19th century.

It has been a museum house since 1999. The living quarters of the

houses are on the upper floors, the ground floor being occupied by

the hayat (an open or covered area used for diverse domestic tasks),

kitchen, storage rooms and stables. Depending on the prosperity of

the owner, the upstairs rooms may include a bas oda (principal

room), library and prayer room. The number of windows and even the

width of the floorboards are indicators of how wealthy the family

was. The place seen in the photo is a part of the landing of first

floor..

nice idea.

I like the overall aesthetic of the image, but something about those deckled edges is a bit distracting.

I like your write-up which tells us so much more of the photo which brings us way back to the olden times with its 'faded' tones & 'torn' edges

iyi bir calisma .

 

tebrikler ..
