The image showcases an exquisite example of Victorian architecture with Italianate elements typical of the United States in the latter half of the 19th century. The façade exhibits sophisticated detailing and expressive plasticity. Attention is immediately drawn to the rich decorative language: elegant columns with distinctive capitals supporting the projecting cornice, and an intricate frieze featuring a cross-patterned ornament.
The entrance area is designed as a classical portico with arched elements. Special expressiveness is added to the façade by decorative brackets and modillions supporting the cornices. The staircase is framed by skillfully crafted balustrades with massive ornamental posts. The color scheme of the façade is executed in light tones, emphasizing the architectural plasticity and creating a sense of lightness despite the abundance of decorative elements.
The windows of the first and second floors are decorated with varying degrees of ornamentation, creating a rhythmic composition. The presence of shutters behind the glass indicates the contemporary use of this historic building. The restoration has evidently been carried out with great attention to historical details, preserving the authenticity of the architectural appearance.
