N8, Kote Marjanishvili str. / N20, Luka Asatiani str., Batumi
The building was built at the beginning of the XX century by the order of the Batumi Port Captain A. Fonfitingofshel. The façade of the classicistic-baroque style double-storey corner building with a mansard situated on the crossroad is adorned with modelled details. The corner of the first floor of the building is cut off, and bay windows are arranged on the second floor and mansard. Three walls of the façade avant-corps have lines with smooth and rugged surfaces. There are entrances under the avant-corps. Small porticos with columns are arranged in front of the entrances. To the side of Luka Asatiani Street, there is a tunnel leading into the yard. The decoration of the apertures includes columns, gables, modelled ornaments and sculptures. The mansard floor has a roof with a scale-like texture. The metal balconies on the second floor have tracery railings. The building with its proportion, silhouette and rich decorations significantly contributed to the development of the artistic image of the street.
