The exact date of the building of the Greek Consulate General in Thessaloniki


Χρήστος Ε. Λαμπρινός
Abstract

Up till now it was believed that the building of the Greek Consulate Ge­neral in Thessaloniki during the late period of the Turkish occupation was built after 1897 and the first Greek Consul General to settle in it was Evgenios Evgeniadis.

But according to latest documents herewith the above mentioned building was constructed during the 1890-1893 period and the first Greek Consul General to live and work in it was G. E. Dokos.

It is interesting to note that this very building was sought for rental by other Consular posts in Thessaloniki at much higher sums. But the Elders of the Greek Community turned them down and offered it to the Greek delega­tion instead at a much lower sum.
