The image showcases a magnificent example of Victorian architecture in the Italianate villa style. This elegant two-story structure with an impeccably white façade demonstrates numerous characteristic elements of this architectural direction from the mid-to-late 19th century.
The building's façade features a symmetrical arrangement of elements with projecting bay windows on both sides of the central entrance. Particularly noteworthy are the details: richly decorated cornices with brackets (modillions), elegant balustrades on the balcony and porch, and meticulously crafted window frames. The architect masterfully employed classical decorative elements — pilasters with capitals adorning the entrance group and framing the bay windows.
Window openings are presented in several variations: rectangular on the main part of the façade and curved in the bay windows, creating visual diversity and emphasizing the building's refinement. The double entrance doors, framed by a semi-circular arch and decorative elements, give the façade solemnity and substance.
The foundation of the building is made of red brick, creating a contrast with the white wooden façade and emphasizing the horizontal lines of the composition. The open porch with columns and veranda on the first floor harmoniously complement the overall appearance, giving the building an airy quality and connecting it with the surrounding landscape.
