Architecture
Taş Mektep (Stone School)
Merkez, Çankırı
A historic school opened in 1893 as an İdadi School, where the room in which Atatürk spent the night of 31 August 1925 is preserved as the 'Atatürk Room'.
Its story
Construction of the cut-stone building began in 1886, and it opened in 1893 as an İdadi (secondary) School. The two-story building was later used as a high school, middle school and fine arts high school. On his return from the Kastamonu trip for the Hat Reform, Atatürk spent the night of 31 August 1925 in a classroom prepared for him in this building. That classroom is now open to visitors as the 'Atatürk Room' with period furnishings. The building is one of the most important witnesses in Çankırı to the early years of the Republic.
