Gavrili Mansion

Gavrili Mansion is built by Architect Vafiadis in 1905 at located on Uğur Mumcu Street in the Dumlupınar Quarter of Buca. Although it is not fully confirmed today, according to many historical sources, the Gavrili Family lived in this mansion.

Gavrili Mansion, was used as the residence of Pengelli Family for a long time, later used as the guest house of Yapı Kredi Bank. Buca Gavrili Mansion, was idle for a period due to disrepair, purchased by Ismet Çiftçi by protocol in 2008 and has undergone a serious restoration.

Although the Buca Gavrili Mansion where the Gavrili Family lived, one of the wealthy families who lived in Buca, got its name from the fact that the family lived here for a while, we don’t have much information about the Gavrili Family. Another owner of the Gavrili Mansion, was owned by the Greek merchant Costa Gavrili from 1905 to 1922, the date of its construction, is the Pengelley Family.

The most important feature of Gavri Köşk, served as the private residence of the Pengelley Family, which was engaged in tobacco trade until the mid-1930s, is that it is a mastery and original work of Architect Vafiadis. The linear wooden pediments of many mansions in Buca either belong to the architect Vafiadis or were inspired by him.

Semi-circular arches and pediments above the window, original motif workmanship, linear triangular wooden pediment and wooden motifs on the roof are just a few of the most important features of the Gavri Mansion.

One of the most original works of Vafiadis, who was the architect of not only the Levantine families from Buca, but also the wealthy Levantine families of Bornova, the Gavrili Mansion was used as a guesthouse for Yapı Kredi Bank until 2008.
