Of the seven rows of factory buildings commissioned under Abdülhamid II and put into operation in 1893, four have survived to the present day. They are known by their Sümerbank-era names: Lastik İşletme Revizyon, Lastik İşletme 1, Lastik İşletme 2 and Lastik İşletme 3. The factory’s annex, which served as the Carpentry Workshop (Marangozhane) during the Sümerbank era, is now home to Kundura Hafıza’s permanent exhibition, Kundura’s Memory: A World Fit into a Factory, as well as the Memory Workshop.

Bearing the traces of its history throughout its fabric and allowing flexible use within the scope of permitted activities, this venue can be rented on its own or together with the other two buildings in the group.
