Old French Orphanage Turned Into a Cafe - Istanbul

Palais Saint-Eugène was built in 1868 as an orphanage and was named as Saint-Joseph House. In the 20th century, it became Garabet Cezayirliyan's plasterboard workshop. Later, Kemal Cinbiz took over the workshop. The building also housed the world's only known plasterboard museum. In the plasterboard museum, there were pieces of plasterboard from buildings such as Dolmabahçe Palace, the Pera Museum, Sultan Adile's Palace and Sait Halim Pasha's mansion. The building, whose papier-mache museum on the upper floor was closed in 2020, also hosted the 2022 Istanbul Biennial. Today, the building is empty. Now, in its garden, there's a cafe called Tophane Mekan, which belongs to the municipality of Beyoglu, on April 2025 in Istanbul Turkey. Photo by Ilker Eray/ABACAPRESS.COM
