İhsan Erdemgil Mansion

History & heritage

A house connected with the War of Independence.

Town centre, Sivrihisar / Eskişehir

İhsan Erdemgil Mansion is associated with Mustafa Kemal’s three-day stay after arriving in Sivrihisar on 7 March 1922. It formed part of the town’s wartime command setting.

He inspected military units during the day and used the mansion as headquarters at night. The story illustrates how a domestic building took on a different role during the War of Independence.

It is distinct from Zaim Ağa Mansion, which hosted the cabinet meeting later that month. Keeping the two places separate makes the sequence of events clearer.
