RESIDENTIAL HOUSE


Second half of the 19th century – early 20th century


State Index: 1.6.203.9

The house is located on Hanrapetutyun Street.

It is a two-story building with a basement. The main block has a rectangular floor plan. One of the side volumes, oriented toward the alley, is inclined relative to the longitudinal wall. The side wing of the main block has a trapezoidal plan and contains utility and domestic rooms.

The main façade is faced with roughly dressed stone. The side sections feature vertical pilaster strips, within which the rectangular openings of the lower floor are architecturally articulated with flat three-part columns. The upper-floor windows have half-columns with sculpted capitals. In the central recessed section, the openings are also rectangular and framed with surrounds, decorated on the second tier with brackets and ornamental cornices.

The façade composition is dominated by horizontal articulation: a projecting plinth, a belt of window-base panels with recessed or cubic elements, and a mid-level frieze with triglyph-like motifs, crowned by a cornice.

The load-bearing walls are built of rubble stone masonry with mortar. The façade facing Hanrapetutyun Street is clad in black tuff. The ceilings are flat and wooden. The roof is pitched.
