HISTORICAL BUILDINGS

Late 19th century

State index: 1.6.200.6

The house is located on Tigran Mets Avenue.

The building is two-storied and includes a basement. The main block has an almost U-shaped plan, while the side wings are of unequal size and relatively short. A hall constructed on the courtyard side brings the overall plan closer to a rectangle. Each apartment has a dual orientation, facing west toward the avenue and east toward the inner courtyard. Single-story structures adjoin the main block on the courtyard side.

The artistic and architectural design of the principal western façade is laconic. It is characterized by simple geometric forms, including rectangular windows, rectangular recesses beneath the windows, horizontal bands, a simple cornice, and walls finished with roughly dressed stone. The composition of the façade emphasizes its central section.

Approximately at the center is the semicircular arched opening of the passage leading to the courtyard of the residence, accentuated by a projecting cornice and modillions. To the right and left of the passage are symmetrically arranged identical semicircular arched entrance openings, which provide direct access from the avenue to the apartments.

The structural system consists of load-bearing walls built of stone masonry. The street-facing façade is finished with finely dressed black Yerevan tuff.

The floor structures are flat and supported by wooden beams. The roof is pitched and covered with sheet metal.
