RESIDENTIAL HOUSE
Late XIX - early XX century
State index: 1.6.200.1
The
building is situated at 1 Tigran Mets Avenue (formerly known as Old Barracks
and later October Avenue). It stands three stories high, with an almost
rectangular plan and a two-row arrangement of rooms. The structure is elongated
along the north-south axis, with a short projection on the northeast side.
The
western main facade of the building features a compositional solution that
highlights the entrances. To the left is the front door, and to the right is a
passage. All openings are rectangular, with the lower openings accentuated by
modillions. The windows on the upper floor are framed with roughly processed
stones, and a stringcourse separates them from the window sills. This design
motif is repeated on the third floor, where the stringcourse transforms into a
window belt. The horizontal division of the facade is marked by ribbon-like,
roughly processed stones on the second and third floors, with prominent
inter-floor cornices and a cornice adorned with a row of dentils.
The
building's structural system consists of load-bearing walls made of tuff with
medium masonry. The street-facing facade features processed tuff. The ceilings
are flat and wooden, and the roof is sloped and covered with tin.
The building has undergone renovations.
