Kütahya houses, which are examples of 19th century civil architecture and carry the wooden architectural features of Anatolia in terms of residential architecture, still live in their original form.
With their unique two and three-story architecture, wooden buttressed projections, window arrangement and wide eaves, they carry the most beautiful examples of old mansion culture to the present day.
The ground floors were arranged as a kitchen, pantry, storage and stony area for agricultural vehicles, and the living, sleeping, eating, drinking and washing rooms were built on the upper floors. The entrance doors were kept large enough to allow horses to pass. The windows were few in number and small in size. Projections are the most important element of the architectural style in Kütahya houses. Even if the streets are very narrow, the projections are made so that the eaves touch each other. The characteristic Kütahya house is usually large. In the exterior colors, the surface is painted in white, dirty yellow, indigo blue or ochre color, and it is plastered with geren (earth). It is possible to see these houses lined up along the street on Germiyan and Ahierbasan Streets.
