Abstract :Our country Turkey has a very rich heritage in terms of cultural assets. Yet, due to lack of care and attention enough for their preservation given  to cultural assets, this heritage is vanishing off. In order to make Istanbul - the meeting point of civilizations -  a livable and sustainable "World City" with its natural, historical and cultural structure, it is in this respect aimed to harvest maximum benefit by providing service with its limited resources and to have most important artifacts among the countries in the region. Istanbul Eyüp region, selected as the area of study, has been drawing attention to itself as a part of the traditional texture while offering a diversity and wealth within itself. In the scope of this study,  Eyüp Ebussuut Primary School, designed by Mimar Kemalettin Bey and one of the early examples of  1st National Architecture Order early, has been surveyed, and after drawing site plans, plan sections, facade and details belonging to the structure as well as the layout plan that defines the structure and premises, we have carried on with the analytical stage of the survey. Material distortion/damage analyses have been done and structural issues have been identified in the scope of and analytical survey. Then carried on with restitution phase. Restitution issues have been discussed and similar buildings of the same era have been studied in order to address those. Necessary interventions for cleaning, reinforcement, integration, renewal and utilization of the building so that it could maintain its effective use have been developed along with restoration project.
