Village chambers, one of the important elements of our national culture, have mostly lost their importance and function today and have been abandoned to their fate. For this reason, it was considered important to determine and present the architecture. Within the scope of the study, the Hacıların Odası (Pilgrims' Chamber) located in the Selcikler Town of Sivaslı District of Uşak Province was examined. The building was presented with the support of the plan and photographs taken in 2019. After being evaluated according to the number of floors, the upper floor plan including the room, which is the entertainment/gathering section, was examined; and the ornamental features were tried to be determined besides its characteristic architectural features. The Hacıların Odası (Pilgrims' Chamber) is dated to the first quarter of the 17th century according to the inscription on the wooden entrance door. The two-storey village chamber consists of a barn on the lower floor and two rooms on the upper floor opening to the outer hall. The room has also attracted attention with its ornaments. The Hacıların Odası (Pilgrims' Chamber) defies time with its rich wooden ornament as well as its plain architecture. In the room, where botanical shaped ornaments are used extensively, carving, openwork and scraping techniques are used among wood ornamentation techniques. Botanical composition with palmet, rumi, and kıvrımdal motifs took place in the ornamentation. The upper floor of the village rooms consists of the room serving for the main accommodation function and other parts connected to the room space. For this reason, a more elaborate and functional space setup is located on the upper floor compared to the lower floor. The example of the Hacıların Odası (Pilgrims' Chamber) within the scope of the study, with its design with an outer sofa and two rooms opening to the outer sofa, offers similarities with the residence and village rooms in the region. The room is on the upper floor and is used as a living and accommodation area and is the main meeting area. The room has a nearly square plan. In the room, there are crevices, beds, cup holders, stoves, cupboards, sherbet and elbow rests. Apart from their common features, the Hacıların Odası (Pilgrims' Chamber)differs in that it contains history, among many Uşak examples dating to the middle of the 20th century. It is also different from the regional structures with its intense ornamentation. The fact that it is a rare example in the region where wood ornamentation is intense reveals that it can be a work of art by local masters. While the ornamented sections in the room show the craftsmanship of one or more masters, they also emphasize the care shown to the guest through ornamentation. Although the structure has stood the test of time, it is also open to all physical threats. No security measures have been taken in the room, which is located in a very central part of the town, and it is also faced with negativities such as destroying the ornamented surfaces in particular. The Hacıların Odası (Pilgrims' Chamber), with its intense ornamentation, presents a difference among the regional structures. The building, which is not in use today, has unfortunately been abandoned to its fate. The structure, which is open to physical deformation with the sections added to the structure and with repairs it had over time, is the earliest dated village chamber in Uşak province able to be dated. Besides, it is a rare structure with its dense wooden ornamentation. Unfortunately, it is obvious that it will become inaccessible in the coming years. These reasons made it important to present the architectural and ornamental features of the Hacıların Odası (Pilgrims' Chamber) with written and visual documents and revealed the purpose of determining its place in Turkish folk architecture.
