Batumi, Memed Abashidze Street No.36
Brief description of the monument:
This one-story house was built at the beginning of the 20th century. It forms part of a continuous development along Memed Abashidze Street, onto which its main façade directly opens. The primary façade is plastered and painted. Several years ago, an attic floor (mansard) was added. The central portion of the façade is divided by two risalits, each topped with curved pediments. In the left risalit, there is an entrance door crowned by a metal canopy, while the right risalit features an arched window. On the right side of the façade, there is an arched passageway leading into the courtyard. The remaining windows on the façade have rectangular outlines. To the left of the passageway, part of the building is two-storied: on the ground floor, there is a central window flanked by two doors; on the second floor, two doors open onto a balcony enclosed by a metal railing. The façade concludes with a profiled cornice underscored by a row of rectangular dentils. Above the cornice, there is a segmented parapet decorated with sculpted urns at each end, between which metal openwork railings are placed. The high attic roof, covered with fish-scale tiles, is punctuated by rectangular and arched dormer windows. Decorative elements of the main façade, including window frames, recessed pilasters, cornices (sandrics), and curved, sculpted pediments, are executed in a Baroque and Classicist style. Although the building is not distinguished by high artistic merit, it plays a significant role within the architectural composition and historical context of the street and neighborhood.
