The Latifoğlu Mansion is situated on Gaziosmanpaşa Boulevard in Tokat Center and was constructed in 1746 in the Ottoman baroque style. Its architectural design comprises an "L"-shaped plan, with a mudbrick filling material between wooden carcasses. The mansion is characterised by intricate wood, plaster and pencil decorations. The wooden ceiling, doors, hoods and cupboard doors of the Turkish bathroom are embellished with floral motifs. The Pasha room, with its baroque wooden ceiling core, cupboard and hood covers, and gate, provides an excellent example of wood craftsmanship. The poolside room on the second floor is notable for its gilded wooden ceiling and walls decorated with floral motifs and Istanbul depictions. Gypsum work is evident in the plaster moulded decorated cookers and skylight windows of the Pasha Room and the Poolside Room. The motif known as the "Mühr-ü Süleyman" (Seal of Suleyman) is employed on the plastered stained glass skylight windows. In 1988, the Latifoğlu Mansion was constructed as a museum-house, equipped with furniture and clothing typical of the region and featuring mannequins engaged in realistic activities. The museum's objective was to reflect Tokat's traditional home culture.
