Changes After Construction
The structure was used as a boys' middle school under the name Mirgün Mekteb-i Rüştiye-i Zükûru; after 1934, it continued its education as a primary school.
In 1965, it was closed with the approval of the governor's office due to the risk of collapse, and was temporarily moved to another school building.
Following a minor repair, the structure began to be used as a primary school again in 1971.
As of the 1997-1998 academic year, the school's name became Emirgân Primary School.
During the renovation/restoration process in the 2013-2014 period, education was temporarily maintained in different buildings; with the completion of the restoration in May 2014, the structure was put back into use.
