American Board launched its activities in the Ottoman lands in 1820 and shaped its final form in 1860. As a result of the decision at the annual meeting in Harput, the activities in Anatolia were organised as three missions: Western, Central and Eastern Turkey missions. The mission was defined as a region which included education, health, religion and publication activities. Each of these missions was formed around the influence sphere of central school. The Anatolian College in Merzifon was launched as a head quarter of Western Turkey mission. These premises caught the attention of some Western travelers, who visited the Ottoman lands and were mentioned in the travelogues regarding their physical appearance and activities. In this study, through the case study method during the years between 1866-1896 when educational activities were brought to the forefront in the third period, the buildings in the premise of the Anatolian College, will be dealt with and assessed under the light of both the archive documents of the American Board and the travelogues of W. John Childs and thus it is aimed to make some contributions to the field of literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
