History of the building of State Conservatory of Thessaloniki (SCT).
The building was built between 1903-1904 for the needs of the Ottoman Bank, (a company of English – French interests), which founded a branch in 1863 in Thessaloniki.
The building was completed in 1904 and the bank worked until 1939. Since then it has been abandoned until 1949, when the State Social Insurance (ΙΚΑ) purchased it for its needs.
IKA used the building until 1978, when it was abandoned due to an earthquake.
In the effort of preserving the material and non-material cultural heritage, the Ministry of Culture, decides to renovate and modify the building for the needs of the only one State Conservatory in Greece (ΚΩΘ). Therefore, extensive work was done on the design of classrooms, a library, a concert hall, a recording studio, a canteen and a museum of musical instruments.
