Hakan Gürüney's Tenedos Collection of more than 5,000 documents and objects is exhibited was the highest and most magnificent of the buildings constructed after the 1874 Tenedos fire. It was originally constructed by Dimosten Tulmidis as two adjoining buildings. One of the buildings was two storeys high and the other, three. The side facades of the building were ornamented with the shallowly projecting columns known as pilasters. Photographs of the preiod reveal that there is an open terrace and marble columns on the third storey. After the family that resided there immigrated to Australia in 1950, the building fell into disrepair, and when bricks and marble began to fall into the road from the upper storeys, these floors were demolished, leaving only two one-storey buildings and their foundations. Over time the buildings were used for various purposes, and on 7 June 2006 a protocol was signed designating the building the Tenedos Local History Research Center, a joint project of the Tenedos District Governor's Office and M. Hakan Gürüney, for the purpose of exhibiting the Tenedos Collection".
