The Aliberti (Wolf) Mansion is an important Levantine residence built in the mid-19th century. Although there are differing accounts regarding its first occupants between the Wolf Brothers and the Paterson Family, the mansion also hosted the La Fontaine Family in the early 20th century. It has been used by the Aliberti Family since the 1950s.
An important example of Bornova's characteristic Levantine architecture, the Aliberti (Wolf) Mansion was built in the mid-19th century. Although accounts differ regarding its original occupants — the Wolf Brothers and the Paterson family — the mansion also hosted the La Fontaine family in the early 20th century. Passing to the Italian Aliberti family in the late 1950s, the building is still used by the same family as a private residence.
According to Hümeyra Birol: "It is probable that the Wolfs, whose name appears in connection with more than one dwelling in the settlement, were builders rather than original occupants."
