Hamidiye Trade School, the long building situated behind the Constantin Column in Sultan Ahmet’s Hippodrome area was built in 1867. The building was severely damaged during the earthquake in 1894 and Raimondo D’Aronco who was commissioned to restore the building to it’s original form used his own creativity in the process by matching Art Nouveau with Ottoman art, thereby creating a hybrid often referred as Neo-Ottoman style.
Today on top of the front entrance there still stands the old sign in old script : Agriculture and Commerce. Apparently after the restoration the building was first used as the ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, then during the era of the new Turkish Republic as the Academy of Economic and Commercial Sciences and finally in 1975 transferred to Marmara University to be used as the President’s Office Building. In 1980 ies the building once again received extensive damage and was reconstituted for a second time faithful to D’Aronco’s first restoration.
Academy of Economic and Commercial Sciences is an institution with roots extending back into the 19th century when the Hamidiye College of Higher Commercial Education was established in the Cağaloğlu district of Istanbul on January 16, 1883. At the time, it was the only leading higher education institution for studies in commerce and economics. 13 students were the first graduates in 1887.
The school joined the Ministry of Education in 1889 but was abolished in 1893 to be renovated and re-opened later. It was re-opened on October 15, 1897 and has carried out its education programs ever since. From 1923 to 1959, the college was called the Higher Education School of Economics and Commerce and became the Istanbul Academy of Economic and Commercial Sciences in 1959.
