Due to the urban sprawl, many industrial buildings which were formerly at the “edge” (or even suburban) areas are increasingly becoming surrounded by the expanding urban area. In the last two decades, survey analysis, research, record-keeping, and some reuse projects were carried out for the industrial sites in Eskisehir [6,7]. Some of the structures in the area were registered according to the 1/5000 Master Plan, approved in 26 July 2002 and revisioned in 20 October 2003 and 1/1000 Development Plan for the factory area approved in 11 December 2003 [8,9]. Besides, among these, there are those, such as the Railway Station Building (Istasyon Binast), that were registered with the status of a memorial structure/building; ‘single structure’ registration decisions were taken for industrial facilities occupying a wide area, parcel layouts were divided with the purpose of “utilization for public interest”, and approaches which take into account production accessories, structure appurtenances, and environmental and town landscapes of the sites were not followed in reutilization applications. For example, the Espark Shopping Center, put into service in 2007, was built on the site of the destroyed Kurt Briquetting Plant, established in 1927, and the brick-laid chimney of the plant was dismantled from its original place and reinstalled into another place in accordance with the layout of the shopping center (see Figure 2).

The distance between columns is 10.30m at the south side and 8.10m at the north side. The Roundhouse Railway Workshop has an important place in the history of the railways as well as the city’s collective memory, even though the workshop is no longer functional. Because of lack of attention, some technical and architectural elements have either been removed or replaced. The building is structurally intact, but has sustained some damage. It is very important to keep this building for the future generations as part of our industrial heritage and for Eskisehir’s collective memory.

Figure 13. Plan sketch with measurements of the staff accommodation. A total of ten units were built as five semidetached twin building. Each building has a single story and has its own yard. We could not determine whether the buildings were intended for the blue- or white-collar workers. The plan layout suggests that the units were designed to meet the minimal needs of a nuclear family. Each unit is about 60 m? in size. The entrance is protected by a small hallway. The unit consists of a living room and two bedrooms plus a kitchen, bathroom, and washroom. The bedrooms face south; the hallway, living room, and kitchen face north. The bathroom and washroom are in the centre of the building (Figure 14).

Figure 15. Southern facade drawing(left) and photo(right). The units were built using masonry construction. The foundation is stone and the walls are brick. The roof was built using wooden trusses and is covered with tiles. The floors are wood veneer in the rooms and concrete in the other areas. The windows are in the form of small gaps. The exterior of the windows are protected by horizontal iron bars. A molding goes around the exterior walls and tracks the window casings at the top (Figure 15).
