The photograph captures a remarkable architectural detail of a building - a tower that combines elements of eclectic and Art Nouveau styles. The upper part of the tower is crowned with a metal dome featuring characteristic vertical ribs made of light-colored metal. Below the dome is a band with dark slate tiling, creating an expressive contrast with the remaining light elements of the façade.
The central part of the tower is designed in a black and white palette with geometric ornamentation in the form of chevrons (zigzag lines). There are also round porthole windows: one with blue stained glass, another with frosted filling. The façade is decorated with classical architectural elements - cornices with modillions (decorative brackets), oval medallions, and ornamental appliqués.
The lower visible part of the tower has a semicircular shape, adorned with miniature brackets and finished with a row of windows. To the right, a portion of the brick masonry of the main building is visible, creating an additional contrast of textures and materials. The entire composition reflects the characteristic features of late 19th - early 20th century architecture with its love for decorative elements and mixing of styles.
