The municipality of Ankara transformed the house into a presidential residence for the use of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881–1938).

[1][2][3] The mansion became Atatürk's official residence witnessing important historical events during the Turkish War of Independence and the early years of the Republic.

In order not to become dilapidated, and to protect the exhibition items from deterioration, major maintenance works were started in 2002 that lasted until 2007.

During these efforts, it was concluded that the site should be used as a historic house rather than as a museum to reflect its natural picture of that era.

[1][2][3] After Atatürk's marriage to Latife Uşşaki (1898–1975) on 29 January 1923, the lodge became insufficient for family life.

[1][3] To solve problems of construction statics arisen after the extension of the building, and to enhance the comfort conditions, maintenance works were carried out in 1926.

For Atatürk's adoptive children, a story consisting of six rooms and a bathroom were added to the top of the service building.
