Located on the Rumeli side of the Bosphorus, just south of Tarabya Bay, the Huber pavilion is a former residence of the arms merchant and Krupp Corporation executive, August Huber. Although the exact date of its construction is not known, it is surmised that the structure was the work of Italian architect, D'Aranco.

When the Huber family left İstanbul prior to the conquest, the real estate passed into the hands of various proprietors until the government took over the residence to be used as a presidential retreat in 1985. The pavilion is magnificent with respect to its sprawling acreage and palatial architecture. The grounds consist of a barn, garage, dwellings for the employees, vast gardens, and 160 acres of surrounding woods
