#1129. Historic brick facade with decorative bay window adapted for modern commercial use

The photograph shows an expressive corner fragment of a historic brick building with characteristic elements of classical architecture from the early 20th century. The main part of the facade is made of red brick, which was typical for commercial buildings of that period.

Particular attention is drawn to the decorative bay window with rich architectural design. The bay window has a classical cornice with dentils and is adorned with stucco ornament featuring floral motifs. The lower part of the bay window is designed as a semicircular projection with a ribbed surface, creating the effect of a console supporting the upper part.

The color scheme of the facade is built on the contrast between brickwork and light decorative elements. A characteristic feature is the use of decorative panels with vertical stripes on the sides of the display windows, which frame the modern commercial space.

Currently, the premises house a beauty salon called "Studio 107," as evidenced by the signage and black fabric awnings with white lettering. In the windows, there are images indicating manicure and pedicure services, as well as decorative elements in the form of colorful umbrellas.

The architectural value of this fragment lies in preserving the historic appearance of the building while adapting it for modern commercial use, demonstrating a successful example of combining elegant architecture of the past with the functional requirements of the present.
