This is a magnificent example of neoclassical architecture with Beaux-Arts elements. The building features a characteristic rich red brick facade with elegant white accents around the window openings and doors. Particularly expressive is the central part with a monumental entrance, approached by a symmetrical staircase with a white stone balustrade.
The decorative balconies with delicate wrought iron railings in a greenish hue draw attention, creating an interesting contrast with the brickwork. The facade is enriched with classical architectural details — consoles, cornices, and pilasters, giving the building a solemn, respectable appearance. The central entrance is framed by an arched portal with a double green door, creating a bright accent and a focal point of the composition.
When designing your own house, you can borrow some techniques from this facade: the contrasting combination of the main material with accent elements, symmetrical composition, and the use of architectural facade decoration to add individuality. Even in a modern interpretation, classical elements such as balustrades, decorative consoles, and expressive window framing can give a house a noble appearance and a sense of solidity.
