In the geography extending from Assos Antique Harbor to Geyikli Odunluk Pier and from there to Çanakkale Sarıçay Edge, Jewish merchants built private stone warehouses in the second half of the 19th century and the warehouses started to be known as oaknut, the most important trade product of the region. The reason for being located on river or seashores is to easily transport merchandise to the ships by barges. Oaknut warehouses, which fulfilled their functions in the trade until the 1960s, became derelict due to the decreasing of the activity of trade based on raw materials.

Within the scope of the architectural heritage conservation activities carried out in Çanakkale in the 90s, the Sarıçay area where these warehouses are located was taken under protection.
