Built in 1895, this four-storey building located in Karaköy, directly across from Muradiye Han, originally served as a wine storehouse owned by the Greek community in Istanbul. Later on it became the storage facility warehouse for Tariş Şarabı, a brand of wine produced during the 1930s by the Grape Union within Tariş, the Turkish agricultural cooperative. The street on which it stands once led to Galata’s historic wine dock, a major hub for wine trade where barrels arrived from across the Aegean. Today, it is still known as Galata Şarap İskelesi Sokak (Galata Wine Dock Street). Following recent renovations, the building now houses Galeri 77, a privately owned contemporary art gallery founded in 2012. The entirety of the building is activated as exhibition spaces for the 18th Istanbul Biennial.
