Eseyan Armenian School

The Eseyan Armenian School is founded by the brothers Hovhannes Eseyan and Mıgırdiç Eseyan, who responded to the aid campaign initiated by the Beyoğlu Executive Board to meet the community's need for school. The philanthropic siblings demand that their surname name to the school before starting construction work. Upon the acceptance of this request by the congregation, the construction of the Eseyan Armenian school, whose foundation was laid on Taksim Meşelik Street, started in 1893 and completed in 1895 as a result of two years of work, the school begins to accept its first students.
