There is a general belief that Çakırağa Mansion was built by Şerif Aliağa. It is one of the few mansions whose architectural style was preserved just as it was in the first construction and settlement period in the Aegean region. Çakırağa Mansion, which was restored and turned into a museum in the early 90s after remaining in a ruined state for many years, is an important source in Turkish architecture for understanding the daily life of the Ottoman Empire.

The Mansion, which is one of the most beautiful examples of wooden Turkish houses, stands at the end of a garden adorned with flowers. And the garden is protected by high walls so that it cannot be seen from the road. Çakırağa mansion was built in 1761 by a rich merchant, Çakıroğlu Mehmet Bey and the building has three floors. There are stony courtyard, kitchen, barn and a guest waiting room downstairs. The second floor is more sheltering due to being used in winter. The mansion, where all rooms have a large space, is heated by fireplace. The wall and ceiling decorations in the rooms are hand-drawn, and the wood carving is noteworthy. Guest rooms have bathing sections. You can go to the third floor (summerhouse floor) by lifting the trapdoor. On the floor, which is brighter and richer in hand drawing, there are also two murals.

Çakıroğlu Mehmet Bey married two ladies, one from Izmir and the other from Istanbul. He had images of Izmir and Istanbul drawn on the walls of the rooms, so that the ladies would not feel homesick. These paintings are extremely important both in terms of reflecting the images of the cities and the art of painting of that day. The mansion, decorated with flowers and motives on the inside as well as on the outside, is the center of attention for many tourists.

The restoration has been started by the Republic of Türkiye, Ministry of Culture in 1977. In 1983, the surrounding area was expropriated and the original architectural texture was preserved. The first period of restoration and landscaping work was completed in 1993 by the General Directorate of Monuments and Museums, the General Directorate of Monuments of Izmir, the Directorate of Surveying and Monuments of Izmir. The interior arrangement and exhibition works were carried out by Izmir Archaeological Museum and Ödemiş Museum.
