#1125. Early 20th Century Brick Facade with Geometric Decoration and Cross-Shaped Elements

The image shows a fragment of a historical building from the early 20th century, executed in a style combining elements of Art Nouveau and early commercial architecture. The facade is clad in light brown brick with characteristic decorative green tile inserts creating a geometric pattern.

The upper part of the facade is adorned with a decorative cornice featuring the date "19" (likely the year of construction), which was typical for commercial buildings of that period. In the right part, there is a partially visible inscription, presumably the name of the company or building owner.

Particularly notable are the vertical elements between the windows, designed as white cross-shaped constructions with decorative projections. These elements create rhythm and vertical articulation of the facade, emphasizing its height. The window frames are painted green, harmonizing with the green ceramic inserts.

The lower parts of the windows are decorated with geometric panels featuring diamond patterns, adding visual interest to the facade and demonstrating the influence of geometric motifs from early Art Nouveau. This type of decorative design was characteristic of commercial buildings in American cities of the early last century.
