Ottoman 1889 Land Deed House with Stable in Amasya Köprü Title Deed
Ottoman Property Deed – House in Abdülgani Mahallesi, Köprü (Amasya), 1889
Description:
This Ottoman property deed documents a modest residence in Abdülgani Mahallesi, Köprü (Amasya), dated July 10, 1889. The house, featuring a single upstairs room along with a stable and courtyard on the ground floor, belonged to Hacer, daughter of Hasan. Ottoman deeds of this period not only reflect architectural and social structures of provincial towns but also provide rare insight into everyday life, showing how family homes were registered and transferred. The manuscript, written in Ottoman Turkish, is preserved on sturdy, watermarked paper and exhibits natural signs of aging, such as yellowing, which enhance its authenticity. For collectors of Ottoman ephemera, this piece stands as a tangible record of late 19th-century domestic property ownership in Anatolia.
