Neoclassical Façade with Mascarons and French Balconies

#668. Neoclassical Façade with Mascarons and French Balconies

The image shows a fragment of a historical building façade executed in a neoclassical style. The façade is clad in light beige stone or stucco imitating stonework. The architectural composition demonstrates clear symmetry with two identical windows on each level.

Particular attention is drawn to the decorative elements above the upper floor windows — mascarons in the form of female faces, which is characteristic of eclectic architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century. The upper floor windows have an arched form with semicircular tops and are divided into several sections by white frames.

Each upper floor window is complemented by a small French balcony with geometric design metal railings. The lower row of windows is simpler in form — rectangular, also with white frames, but without expressive decorative framing.

The façade emphasizes the horizontal articulation of the building through cornices and protruding elements between floors. The vertical rhythm is created by the wall sections between windows. The overall composition testifies to the architect's attention to classical proportions and decorative embellishments characteristic of representative urban buildings of its era.
