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. It was built as a two-storey building in 1926 by Architect A. H. Koyunoğlu for the Child Protection Agency, which was established by Atatürk to protect and care for orphaned children on Anafartalar Street. The building is one of the structures of the First National Architecture Period. Today, it is used as the General Directorate of the Child Protection Agency.
