An Example from the First National Architecture Period in Trabzon: Government House (Provincial Building)

Abstract

Government houses are one of the most important public buildings built to emphasize the authority of the state. Government houses located in the central points of cities generally reflect the architectural style that was active in the period in which they were built. In this context, Trabzon Government House, which reflects the stylistic features of the First National Architectural Period, which was active between 1908 and 1930, and which built between 1930 and 1933, is the subject of the research. With this research, it is aimed to emphasize the importance of Trabzon Government House in the First National Architecture Period by evaluating it in terms of its architectural, ornamental and technical features. In order to determine the place of the building within the period style, the research method was created with various publications and archive documents, as well as the information and photographs obtained within the scope of the field study. There is no definitive information about the architect of Trabzon Government House. Although the names of Architect Kemaleddin and Architect Vedat Tek are mentioned among the architects of the building, such information has not been found in any archive records so far. Trabzon Government House was built with a modest approach compared to the important examples reflecting the style of the period in Istanbul and Ankara. However, when a general evaluation is made with elements such as the general mass of the building, the architectural arrangements on its facades and the use of turquoise colored tile decorations, it is concluded that it is the most important building in the city that directly reflects the stylistic features of the First National Architecture Period.
