THE STORIES THIS OLD OTTOMAN DOWAGER COULD TELL

EMINONU, ISTANBUL, TURKEY

This ancient, flower-motif building is striking, if not somewhat neglected.

It sits in a prominent position, a stone's throw from both the Spice (Egyptian) Market and the New Mosque.

Footsteps from the grand Legacy Ottoman Hotel, it also is just up a ridge from the Eminonu ferry docks that serve the Golden Horn and Bosphorus.
