The First National Architectural Period, which was an architectural style initiated to meet new architectural requirements of Ottoman Empire during its final period, continued to exist after the proclamation of the republic for creating the identity of the new nation. Many public buildings, hotels, bank buildings, schools and houses were constructed during the architectural period which was named as the First National Architectural Period that started in 1908 with the proclamation of the second Constitutional Era and ended in 30s. A stylistic unity can be clearly seen in these architectural products. The style of public buildings suggests that they generally have a rectangular plan, symmetric design, entrances with middle axis, and they carry monumental characteristics. An excessive monumentality is clear on the main fronts. In addition, architectural elements of Ottomans and Seljuks can be found on the fronts. Architectural elements that were used on the fronts of public buildings include arched windows, domes, Turkish decorations with star figures, tiling works and precise stonemasonry.
