The modern day Kız Ticaret Lisesi in Pasaport, Alsancak, was once the School of Lazarist Priests. According to the 1905 Goad map, a chapel existed to its east – today part of the school garden and outer sidewalk. The postcards show the basic building hasn’t altered. This establishment is sometimes referred to in various sources as the College de Propogande, the chapel is no longer standing.

Click to view the pdf scan of the “Tableau d’Honneur” which the Levantine architect Raymond Pere had designed for College du Sacre Coeur. It seems that a stock of these certificates were recovered by the nuns at the French Hospital school who would have used them for a while. Pere signed this in February 1906 - information and image courtesy of George Galdies, 2012.
