He lived there until May 16, 1919 the day on which he on the ship Bandırma went to Samsun, on his way to the headquarters of the supervisory authority of the ninth Ottoman Army in Erzurum. The house was bought in 1928 by the Municipality of Istanbul, and some personal belongings of Atatürk were kept there. On 15 June 1942, the house was converted into a museum and opened as the Atatürk Revolution Museum for visitors.
