ANAFARTALAR STREET When Karaoğlan Street, Tahtakale Bazaar and Balıkpazarı Street changed to Anafartalar Street, it widened and lengthened and became the most important street of the modern city. The first modern urbanization and reinforced concrete structures were built on Anafartalar Street and the surrounding streets. For the first time, multi-storey apartment and residential buildings were built in this region. The Şehremaneti (Municipality) building was also located here. There were many public buildings in the further parts of the street. Ankara Courthouse, Child Protection Agency building and Kira Apartment, Gazi and Latif Schools are a few of them. The street starts from Ulus Square and ends at Samanpazarı. COURTHOUSE PALACE The building, built between 1925 and 1926 by Architect A. H. Koyunoğlu on Anafartalar Street, has three floors. The building has a symmetrical plan layout and the spaces are arranged around two parallel corridors extending throughout the building. After an arched entrance, the first floor is reached by a triple staircase. There is a large courtroom here. Wide eaves, pointed and low arches and tile decorations reflecting the characteristics of the First National Architectural Period can be seen. The building, which was used as the Ankara Courthouse for a long time, is today used by units affiliated with the Ministry of Culture. |
