Supplement (building)
One addition is a raised terrace- like porch on the street side in front of the entrance to a building. Supplements are usually provided with railings and go over the entire width of the building facade .
Widespread in the Baltic Sea region since the 14th century , additions are intended to protect the house entrance and the ground floor from flooding.
Originally as a wooden structure, later made of sandstone or brick and decorated, the most beautiful fittings were made in the Renaissance .
The city of Gdansk is famous for the additions to its gabled town houses - the Frauengasse ( ul. Mariacka in Polish ) is one of the greatest sights here.
In the Estonian capital Tallinn , the former Hanseatic city of Reval, you can still find additions to many of the former merchants' houses.
Supplements are part of the outdoor seating .
