Batumi Municipality City Hall
At first, the Self-Government of the city was arranged in a rented apartment in the house of Lord Gurieli, situated on the corner of Marini Avenue and Mikheil Street. The construction of a large building for the City Council was completed in 1902. The building had a large meeting hall. Apart from the Chancellery Office and Construction Department, the City Pawnshop, library and other institutions were arranged on the first floor.
The main part of the building plan composition is a square. The main façade with festive decorations faces L. Asatiani Steet. There is a solid two-tiered avant-corps in the central part of this façade. A door with a rectangular, profiled, decorative frame is in the middle of the avant-corps. The door has a relief pediment, which has an arch above it. A wide balcony with decorative railings on the second floor leans on solid consoles. The wall on the balcony has arched windows; Corinthian order columns area upraised between the windows; two columns are arranged in the corners. This section is completed with a solid entablature having a gable. The eave has decorative consoles in this section. This part of the building has a dome and decorative parapet. There is a balcony with railings on the dome top. This Classicistic-Renaissance style building with its artistic image is especially valuable.
