In 1936 the church was destroyed and the " August 30th Primary School " (30 Ağustos İlkokulu) was built on its foundation walls , which has been a religious Imam Hatip school since 2002 . Next to the church was a two-story wooden house that served as the bishop's guest house; Today it is the "Gâzi Paşa Primary School" (Gâzi Paşa İlkokulu) .
