This nineteenth-century house on Oluklaralti Caddesi in Burdur is two storeys, built in lath and plaster on a stone foundation, with a roof of Turkish tiles. The lower floor holds the winter rooms and the larder; the upper floor has four rooms opening onto a long, narrow hall in the middle.
The rooms share the same elements: plaster niches for sherbet, wooden cupboards built into the walls, wooden floors and worked wooden ceilings. On the ceiling a central boss is made up of circles and decorated with flower motifs, framed by a border of diamond shapes. Windows in numbers light the rooms, each with wooden shutters.
