architecture
It is a three-story plastered building with five axes under a gently sloping pitched roof in the Waldhausen district. With the basically symmetrical facade design, restrained emphasis on the two external axes by means of the design of the windows. Horizontal division by base and floor or sill cornice . The windows, which are arranged at regular center-to-center distances, are uniformly rectangular in shape and have different frames in Art Nouveau style . The windows on the ground floor, like the entrance to the house on the left, are framed with a profiled frame and flat crown ornaments ( acanthus leaves ) that occupy an oversized imitation keystone .
The windows on the first floor are more richly decorated. With the same “ear framing”, the crown jewelery made of vegetal form is highlighted and finished off with an entablature . The two outer windows are set off by a wicker crown in the form of a garland of tendrils, which sets additional accents in the middle with a mask trim and hanging ribbons. The window openings on the second floor are distinguished by a modified frame panel, which continues as a festoon-filled parapet accentuation and which is adorned with a keystone ornamented with stylized tendrils . The eaves cornice, separated by a wide plaster strip, is designed as a simple wooden box cornice with a curtain channel.
