next facade
The photograph captures an exquisite building façade constructed in 1905, as evidenced by the date inscribed on the decorative cartouche at the top of the composition. The architecture displays elements of early 20th century Art Nouveau with a characteristic combination of brick masonry and ornamental elements made of light-colored stone.
The façade features a symmetrical composition with two glass door-windows on the second floor, adorned with stained glass panels featuring botanical ornaments in the Art Nouveau style. A small balcony with a balustrade of turned balusters extends in front of the windows. Elegant lamps with white spherical globes mounted on decorative brackets are installed on both sides of the balcony.
The lower section of the façade is framed by a massive arched construction with a semi-circular window above the entrance. Notable are the meticulously crafted architectural details: the relief elements beneath the balcony, the decorative cornice, and especially the expressive shield-cartouche with the construction date, framed by an intricate ornament at the top of the façade. The combination of red brick and light-colored stone creates a striking color contrast typical of the architecture of that period.
