Odun Yarıcızade Mosque
Changes After Construction:
- After its initial foundation as a masjid, the building acquired the function of a mosque when Hibetullah’s son Hacı Halil had a minbar installed.
- The structure fell into ruin over time, and for a period only the plot remained from the building.
- The site functioned as a scrapyard for a long time.
- In 1996, charitable local people had the mosque rebuilt in reinforced concrete, and the structure was opened for worship in the same year.
Prominent Features:
- The structure is also known as Odun Yarıcızade Masjid.
- The initial composition of the structure is fevkanî; the place of worship was arranged on an elevated level.
- The fevkanî composition represents the small-scale masjid type in which the entrance-harim relationship is established by ascending steps.
- The present-day structure is the 1996 reconstruction, and its load-bearing system is reinforced concrete.
- Within the intramural settlement fabric along the Ayvansaray line, it is one of the examples representing the layered history of use of small-scale worship structures.
