Beit al-Tutunji is an early nineteenth-century historic house in Mosul, Iraq that represents an example of Ottoman vernacular architecture. The house features a large courtyard and exterior walls decorated with inscribed bas-reliefs of local marble. During the occupation of Mosul by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) from 2014 to 2017, ISIL used the house as an artillery encampment. In 2017, U.S.-led international forces known as the Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF) launched airstrikes in an attempt to liberate the city from ISIL control, and destroyed the house in the process. Following the Iraqi government’s reoccupation of Mosul in 2017, restorations began on Beit al-Tutunji, with the goal of turning it into a municipal museum and cultural center.
