The building was built in a 19th century neoclassical style on a terrace. In 1831 it was firstly used as a hospital. ( St Roch Hospital ) It is known to have been repaired by the French in 1845 and converted into a nursing home for poor Christian families. The same building was later used as the service building of the Public Health and Health Directorate. On 2 December 1984, the museum was given to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in order to regulate it as Ethnographic Museum. Ethnographic works were exhibited in Izmir since October 29, 1978, at the lower floor of the Izmir Ataturk and Ethnography Museum. Then, the former Health Directorate building, which was restored in 1985-1987, was put into service as an ethnography museum.
