#4929. Elegant Art Nouveau townhouse façade with decorative stonework and wrought iron elements

The photograph showcases an excellent example of urban architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century, executed in the Art Nouveau style. The building is part of an elegant row of townhouses with architectural elements characteristic of this period.

The façade is constructed of light-colored stone with decorative horizontal blue-tinted bands, creating a rhythmic visual effect. Particularly noteworthy are the wrought iron balcony railings with flowing, sinuous lines typical of the Art Nouveau style. These elegant metalwork patterns are repeated in the staircase railings leading to the entrance doors.

The building features multiple stories with large windows framed by architectural details. The top floor is adorned with dormer windows and a distinctive mansard roof. Bay windows on the façade add volume and expressiveness to the building, creating an interplay of light and shadow. The neighboring red brick building creates a pleasant contrast, highlighting the architectural diversity of the street.

The lower level of the building is separated by a small front garden with original wrought iron fencing, which was typical for urban mansions of that period. Overall, the façade demonstrates a harmonious combination of functionality and decorative elements, characteristic of Belgian or Northern French Art Nouveau architecture.
