#3213. Majestic Victorian Mansion with Picturesque Ivy-Covered Facade

The presented specimen is an excellent example of late 19th century Victorian architecture, likely in the Neo-Gothic or Queen Anne style. The mansion stands out with its characteristic asymmetrical facade with numerous architectural details creating a rich visual composition.

The building's facade is clad in dark stonework, which gives the structure monumentality and solidity. A special expressiveness is created by the contrast between the stone surface and the abundantly overgrown ivy on the walls, painted in bright autumn red and green tones. This natural "decoration" softens the severity of the stonework and organically connects the building with the surrounding landscape.

The architectural composition is dominated by three main elements: a corner tower with a conical roof, a central pediment with a mansard roof, and a side wing with decorative elements. The windows are predominantly tall, arched on the upper floors and rectangular on the lower ones. The complex configuration roof is covered with slate tiles, which is typical for buildings of this period.

The front porch with columns and a canopy serves as an inviting element, softening the transition between the exterior space and the interior of the building. The landscape design of the site with neatly trimmed shrubs and a well-maintained lawn complements the architectural composition and emphasizes the status of the building.
