#5629. Neoclassical facade of the Strangeland Library with elegant portico and central dome

The photograph shows the small historic Strangeland Library, executed in neoclassical style. The building is a compact brick structure with elegant proportions and an expressive facade.

The main facade is adorned with a classical portico featuring four white Ionic columns supporting a triangular pediment. Above the pediment is a decorative element, while the pediment itself contains ornamental details. The main volume of the building is constructed of red brick with contrasting light elements in the form of window surrounds and corner rustication.

Particularly notable is the cylindrical dome at the center of the roof, covered with dark material and crowned with a decorative finial. The building's roof has a low pitch and is covered with dark metal, creating a striking contrast with the brick walls. The window openings are evenly distributed around the perimeter of the building and have a rectangular shape with decorative elements above them.

The library is situated on an elevation, with a small staircase leading to the main entrance. The area around the building is neatly landscaped with greenery, emphasizing the significance of this public structure.
