Gümüşhane İkizevler City Museum, opened to visitors in July 2006, is a typical example of the historical Gümüşhane Mansions. The mansion, which was built in 1920, was restored between 2004-2006. The building, which consists of a ground floor, first floor and attic floor in the garden, was built using the wooden frame infill technique and is plastered on top. The entrance to the museum, which consists of two separate mansions, is provided through wooden double-winged doors on the ground floor and the 1st floor. The bottom of the first floor, which has a ½ protrusion on the front, is supported by wooden beams and has a rectangular window opening. This place, called ‘under the eaves’ in the local language, was used as a room and was arranged as a service area. The roof of the building, whose southwestern façade is adjacent, is hipped and covered with sheet metal sheets.
