description The First National Architectural Period is an architectural movement that generally showed its effect between 1900-1930. The aim of the architectural movement started to become widespread after the proclamation of the II. Constitutional Monarchy (1908) is based on the re-emergence of the classical elements of Ottoman and Seljuk architecture. Along with the Westernization process, Western-influenced arrangements in Ottoman architecture were opposed and classical architectural elements were implemented as a result of a common attitude by the architects of the period. In this context, the Union and Progress Club building, which was built in the city center of Edirne in 1913-1914, is the subject of the article. It aims to reveal the importance of the building in the style of the period with field research, various publications, photographs and drawings. In addition, the architectural definition of the building and its decorative features were emphasized, and comparisons were made with other examples with similar characteristics. The tiles in the interior and exterior of the building were produced in Kütahya, and the pattern decorations were prepared by the leading tile masters of the period, Mehmed Emin and Rıfat Osman. In general, it is concluded that the Union and Progress Club building was built in the style of the First National Architecture Period in terms of its architectural features such as its plan layout, crown door, pointed arched windows, wide eaves system, and tile decorations on the inside and outside.
