Sadullah Pasha

Who they were

Sadullah Pasha gave his name to the waterfront residence at Çengelköy after buying it in 1861. The building is older: the architectural history dates it to the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century and records an earlier association with Mehmed Ağa. Sadullah should therefore be understood as a later owner, rather than the original builder. The surviving domestic wing helps place his household within the residential culture of the Bosphorus.
