description
The five-storey corner house received a special accent through the rounded corner with a flat dome structure. The rusticated base zone with simple windows as well as basement windows has a segmental arched portal with arched cuboids and agraffe laterally framed by cuboid pilasters towards Elisabethstrasse . The horizontal line of the facade is emphasized with continuous cornices . The facade of the main floor is grooved, while the upper floors is kept smooth. The window roofing of the additively arranged windows is designed in an alternating three-way rhythm. On the first floor, triangular gable-shaped windows alternate with straight roofs, and on the floor above, segment-arched roofs alternate with straight roofs. The top two floors have simple straight roofs. A protruding cornice supported by consoles , with a toothed cutting bar , completes the building.
