The image showcases an impressive example of Victorian architecture with a distinctly decorative facade. Particularly eye-catching is the upper part of the building with a gable adorned with fanciful "fish scale" shingles in various shades – terracotta, blue, beige, and red, arranged in harmonious geometric patterns.
The facade displays classic polychrome finishing characteristic of the Queen Anne architectural style. Above the window in the upper part of the gable is a decorative medallion with an ornamental motif, emphasizing the attention to detail typical of the era. The window frames are painted in a contrasting turquoise color, creating a pleasant accent against the multicolored shingles.
The lower part of the facade is designed in a more restrained manner, with horizontal bands of brickwork in two alternating shades, creating an effect of textural rhythm. Below the gable, one can notice a richly decorated cornice, as well as a semicircular window with blue trim, characteristic of this architectural style. The entire ensemble represents a beautifully preserved example of skilled facade decoration, demonstrating the craftsmanship and artistic taste of builders from the past.
