Özet:

 

Dolapdere district is an important part of Beyoğlu, İstanbul. Tatavla which was founded in the sixteenth   century, is located to the north of the district. Starting from the intersection point of Halâskârgazi   Avenue and the Ergenekon Street, it extends southward along the valley, towards Kasımpaşa.   Evangelistria district  Yenişehir  developed in the 19th century on the lower slopes of the Tatavla   hill, as a result of the extension of the earlier settlement above. In the nineteenth century, “Tatavla”   was populated mainly by Greeks. A small, timber structured church was established by the Greek   Orthodox residents of the Yenişehir region in 1857. The church was built in the valley and surrounded   by gardens. The present Evangelistria Greek Orthodox Church, designed in the Gothic revival style,   replaced the earlier timber chapel in 1894. Its architect was Petraki D. Meimaridis, a native of Tatavla.   The impressive monument dominated the skyline of the valley. Tatavla, composed of two or three   story timber houses, was destroyed by a fire in 1929. After the fire, the houses along the valley and   on the hillside were built in a mixed construction system and style.   The Evangelistria Church was built mainly of stone and brick; the stones on the facades have   different characteristics and show different degrees of deterioration. The conservation of the exterior   facades of the church is a priority due to aesthetic and safety reasons. In order to develop a proper   conservation project, the monument was surveyed in detail. Research and documentation has been   carried out about the history of the monument and its materials. Experts from the Directorat for   the Inspection and Conservation Implementations  KUDEB  of İstanbul Metropolitan Municipality   were consulted in order to analyze and specify the types of materials and causes of decay. The   stone samples taken from the facades provided detailed information about the type of stones and   deterioration processes. The results of the material analysis were indicated on elevation drawings and   a set of proposals was developed to consolidate and conserve the façades.   İstanbul is a historic city with many neighborhoods from the ninetenth century. The rehabilitation of   old parts of the city is an important issue in our day. The Evangelistria Church and some of the houses   around it are listed as historic buildings and are under legal protection but Dolapdere, as a region, is not   a conservation area. There is need to develop an appropriate protection model, in order to conserve   the memory and the value of the region. It is of major importance to stop uncontrolled change in   the surroundings of the Evangelistria Greek Orthodox Church and improve the living conditions in its   neighborhood. Conservation of the church and its surroundings can set a good example for the protection   of the entire Dolapdere district.
