The administrators and intellectuals of the Ottoman Empire, which entered a rapid decline in the 19th century, made reforms in many fields, primarily military, economic and educational, to restore the state to its former glory. However, the most important of these is undoubtedly the reforms covering the field of education. Because education is the leading factor in the development level of a country. Education reforms at first that started in the military field started to spread to all the people living in the Imperial geography after the state intellectuals understood that education of the people was inevitable. The idadi school, which were established for military purposes in 1845, gained a more civic function with the Maarif-i Umumiye Regulation published in 1869 and During the Abdulhamid II many idadi schools established in the imperial geography. One of these idadi schools established during the Abdulhamid II is in Kirsehir Sanjak of Ankara Province. In this study, it was evaluated with the construction process and architectural details accompanied by the documents in the archive of the Kirsehir Mekteb-i idadisi, which has not reached the present day, and it has been evaluated with the idadi schools' buildings built within the empire and inferences and discussions about the architects responsible for the design of the idadi schools have been trying to be made.
