The image showcases an excellent example of Victorian architecture in the Second Empire style. This three-story brick building features rich façade detailing and a characteristic mansard roof. The main façade material is red-brown brick, elegantly contrasting with white decorative elements.
The façade is distinguished by its asymmetrical composition with projecting bay windows and risalits, creating an interesting play of volumes. Particularly notable are two rounded corner bays that give the building additional monumentality. The window openings are adorned with elegant white casings and decorative elements typical of the era. The crowning cornice is enriched with decorative brackets, creating a rhythmic pattern under the roofline.
The main entrance is accentuated by a wide staircase and an overhang. Above it sits an elegant balcony with a balustrade in classical style. Similar white balustrades can be seen on other levels of the building. Tall chimneys on the roof are not only functional elements but also an important part of the architectural composition.
The well-maintained grounds around the house with neat greenery complement the overall image of this historic building, which is likely either a former urban mansion or is currently used as a museum or public institution, as evidenced by the American flag on the façade.
