Restoration

The old Armenian houses of Adana, which were erected before the Great Genocide of 1915, were built of brick. They, however, have been restored without consideration of their original appearance and peculiarities—the cornices and the slanting supports of the balconies have been altered (the simple supports of wood have been replaced with ornamental ones), as a result of which, these dwellings have undergone exterior changes.
