Located at the entrance of Piyerloti Street, Balıkesir Dormitory housed revolutionary students between the 1960s and 1980s. It has suffered many attacks because of its central location. Niyazi Tekin, a revolutionary student, was killed in the dorm during a Grey Wolves raid in 1971. Being another critical location of the anti-fascist struggle, between 1974 and 1980, the building was used by the Eminönü District Governorate after the dorm was closed.
