The complex was a Greek church until 1922, has been constructed in Triglia before 19th century and reconstructed in 1858 by a sultan's permission as we know now from Ottoman archives.

The Church building was used as a mess hall until the school was closed in September 1927.

Due to its function it was called “mess hall” until its restoration, which turned the building into Faruk Çelik Cultural Center.

Upon the request of the Greek Culture Delegation a ceremony was held in this building during the visit of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew I to Tirilye on July 1, 2009.
