This building is a magnificent example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture, popular in the late 19th century. The facade features asymmetrical composition and rich decorative elements, which are typical for this architectural style.
The main material of the facade is yellow brick, which contrasts with the terracotta tile roof. Particularly noteworthy are the corner turret with its conical roof and the round rotunda with elegant frieze detailing. The facade is adorned with architectural contrasts — arched windows with decorative casings and alternating brick inserts creating a polychromatic effect.
The porch with classical columns and the spacious veranda encircling the first floor emphasize horizontal lines and give the building a sense of welcoming openness. Decorative elements include stone carvings above windows, elegant brackets under cornices, and detailed column capitals.
In modern private construction, several techniques can be borrowed from this facade: the use of contrasting materials and colors, addition of asymmetrical elements to create visual interest, application of decorative details in entrance areas, and integration of a veranda or porch for a smooth transition between exterior and interior.
