The photograph displays a striking example of Northern European architecture from the late 19th century, presumably of Dutch or Belgian style. We see a characteristic brick façade with the inscription "ANNO 1899," indicating the exact year of construction.
The façade is made of red brick with contrasting light stone details. The architectural composition features a traditional stepped gable (pediment) with a silhouette characteristic of Neo-Gothic and Neo-Flemish styles. The central part is adorned with two rectangular windows with an arched framing above them.
Particularly noteworthy are the decorative elements: metal anchors on the façade (a typical element of Dutch architecture), semicircular arches on the ground floor, elegant stone inserts with floral ornaments, and geometric decorations below the cornices. The façade demonstrates the characteristic eclectic combination of various stylistic elements from the era, with a predominance of Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance motifs.
On the left, a fragment of a neighboring building in a lighter color palette creates an interesting contrast with the rich red brick of the main structure. The meticulous attention to detail, symmetry of composition, and high quality of brickwork speak to the solidity and status of the building from that period.
