#5498. Two-tone red brick Victorian facade with characteristic porches

The presented historic building demonstrates an excellent example of late Victorian or early American Revival architecture. The facade features an expressive two-tone composition: the upper part is clad with red shingles, while the lower part utilizes brown brick, creating an elegant contrast and emphasizing the horizontal articulation of the building.

The roof has a complex configuration with multiple gables and dormer windows, characteristic of the architecture of this period. The central terracotta brick chimney adds a vertical accent to the composition. The predominantly rectangular windows are framed with light-colored casings, which enhances the rhythmic structure of the facade.

Of particular note are the covered porches with columns and balustrades, located at the corners of the building, which lend it prestige and create a smooth transition between the architectural volume and the surrounding space. The white trim of cornices, window frames, and decorative elements effectively contrasts with the rich red-brown tone of the main surfaces.

The presence of a parking area in front of the building indicates its contemporary use, likely as a public institution or office, representing a successful example of adapting historical architecture to modern functional requirements while preserving its authentic appearance.
