Athinogenis Mansion, Protected historical mansion in central Athens, Greece.

The Athinogenis Mansion is a building on Stadiou Street designed in neoclassical style, marked by decorated balconies, columns, and balanced proportions. The exterior displays the typical features of this architectural direction with symmetrical elements across its facade.

Built between 1875 and 1880 to plans by the French architect Frédéric Piat, the mansion belonged to the Athinogenis family, whose heirs Ioannis and Stephanos were the nephews of Stephanos Skouloudis. At the end of the 19th century it housed the first Ottoman Bank in Greece. After standing ruined in 1971 and burning in May 2004, it was bought in 2008 by shipowner Georgios Prokopiou, and restoration began in 2025.

The building shows how wealthy Athenian families of the 19th century lived and arranged their homes. The rooms reflect a lifestyle that mixed European refinement with local customs.

The mansion stands at Stadiou Street 50, the second building after the Old Royal Printing House, in the commercial centre of Athens. It is a listed building, ruined and burned out since the fire of May 2004, so it is seen from the street rather than entered. Restoration work began in 2025, and an eight-storey block is to rise behind it, linked to the mansion by a first-floor footbridge.

The mansion housed the first Ottoman Bank in Greece at the end of the 19th century. After standing ruined in 1971, it passed to the Historical and Ethnological Society, which in the 1990s proposed keeping only the facade with an eight-storey block behind, a plan rejected after protests. It burned in May 2004 and was bought in 2008 by shipowner Georgios Prokopiou; restoration began in 2025.
