The information you provided describes the historical significance and features of the mansion. Here's the translation of the text:
The mansion is believed to have been commissioned by Osman Bey from the Hadımoğlu family, who was the most important ruler in the Bayramiç region at the time. Another rumor suggests that in the 17th century, two brothers named Mustafa and Ahmet, who migrated from Hadim district in Konya province and became wealthy by working as cobblers in Bayramiç, were appointed as the administrators of the Bayramiç Sancak (sub-province) by the government of the time. The mansion is considered one of the finest examples of civil architecture that has survived without much damage until today, inherited from these brothers.
The mansion was purchased by the Ministry of Culture from the heirs in 1973 and allocated to the Bayramiç District Governorship in 1996. It was then restored and transformed into an "Ethnography Museum".
The western facade of the building, facing the street, is made of large-sized cut stones and is windowless, which is why it is called the "Hadımoğlu Castle" by the locals. Some architectural elements from the ancient city of Skepsis, located 14 km away from the town center on Kurşunlu Hill, are used as decorative elements in certain parts of the building.
Both the interior and exterior of the mansion are adorned with paintings, frescoes, plaster decorations, and wood carvings. It has a garden to the south. After passing through an arched entrance, you enter a courtyard. From the courtyard, you move to the main building on the left side. The mansion has two floors, and the floor plans of each floor are different. There is a central hall and rooms at both ends of the hall.
The ceilings of these rooms are quite ornate, with beautiful penwork and gilded decorations. The rooms have wooden built-in cabinets in niches. The rooms on the second floor have a wooden cabinet on one wall, a lovely fireplace, and built-in cabinets on the other. On the southern facade of the west side, where the entrance door of the most magnificent room of the mansion is located, a cityscape by the seaside is depicted on wooden cabinets.
In the painting, you can see houses along the seaside, rows of trees in the foreground, hills and clouds in the background, and boats on the sea. The floor of the ceiling is green and arranged in a cage-like pattern with gilded moldings. The room at the eastern end of the mansion has a Baroque-style marble fireplace on the eastern facade. There is a cabinet on the southern facade of the room. The upper part of the cabinet is simpler compared to the other room.
A seascape is also depicted on the wall of this room. There is a waterway with an arched bridge, houses, trees, hills, and clouds in the background. This room has a reddish color dominant. The wooden ceiling is as ornate as the other room. Rays of light emanating from a round centerpiece create a ring. The roof of the building is covered with wood and tiles. In the stone-paved courtyard of the restored structure, some archaeological and ethnographic artifacts are exhibited.
Indeed, with its architectural structure and decorations, the mansion, which has preserved its historical significance with minimal changes, is an important cultural treasure.
