Guide
The Hacı Ozan house in the Nohutlu quarter of Yozgat is one of the finer late Ottoman houses in the town, and it should be said at the outset that it is still lived in by the family's heirs. It stands in a large garden with two garden gates, one on the west and one on the south, and the inscription on the western gate carries the year 1317, that is 1899-1900. Parts of the house have been altered over time, but it is well preserved and holds decorative work of a kind rarely found.
The house has a basement, a ground floor and one upper floor, built with mudbrick infill between a timber frame. A balcony sits at the middle of the front on the first and second floors, with iron railings and a pediment above it. The windows are round-arched in wooden frames, decorated above and below, and the jambs of the basement door are cut yellow stone. The doors are wooden with round arches over them, the eaves are boarded in timber and the wall surfaces are lime plastered. The roof is of the tent type, laid with pantiles. Inside, the room ceilings are entirely wooden, and the wooden cupboards and sherbet niches in the rooms are the details worth noting.
