Bayt al-Tutunji
Mosul, Iraq
The Tutunji (or Toutounji) House is an example of early ninteenth-century vernacular architecture in Ottoman Iraq. The house served as a private residence for an elite family and bears the trademark features of residential commissions, including broad iwans at the exterior courtyard. The Tutunji House was destroyed during the occupation of the city by Daesh (The "Islamic State" or ISIS) from 2014 to 2017.[1]
