Pillared house
House number 107 on Laurenzenvorstadt in Aarau is known as the pillar house . It is a two-story house with a temple front made up of four Doric columns .
history
The house was built on 45,000 square meters of land acquired by Gottlieb Frey-Fischer (1797–1840) in 1836. The building project comes from the master builder Hemmann from Brugg , who brought in Professor Karl Ferdinand von Ehrenberg from Zurich as an expert . The house was ready for occupancy in 1838. In 1897 the gable was painted. This painting, made by the students of the Gewerbemuseum, was removed again before 1948, presumably during the structural renovation in 1940.
building
The two-story building is designed in a cubic shape. It is covered by a gently sloping hipped roof over a knee stick . The main front has five window axes. The gable front of the porch consists of four Doric columns, which support an undivided architrave with a gable triangle. The intercolumns of the colonnades formed by the four columns correspond to the three central window axes. The facade is largely shaped by the proportionality of the golden section . Warm air heating was installed in the house when it was built.
Until the end of 2017, the command of Infantry Brigade 5 was quartered in the pillared house. Until 2003 this was the seat of Field Division 5.
