Batumi, 13 Konstantine Gamsakhurdia Street / 23 Memed Abashidze Street
Brief Description of the Building:
The Wolfenzon House was built at the end of the 19th century. The façades are constructed of unplastered brick. The surface of the walls is articulated by risalits at the corners and around the main entrance. These sections also feature suspended balconies with ornate wrought iron railings.
The window openings vary in width but are uniformly flat-arched or arched in shape. Their surrounds rest on decorative brackets and projecting capitals of round pilasters. The brick façades are adorned with large, framed stone panels carved in a braided ornament pattern, as well as curvilinear decorative elements created from raised brickwork.
At the corner of the building, there is a small mansard room, crowned with a segmented cornice. The arched entrance to the courtyard, fitted with a wrought iron gate, opens onto Memed Abashidze Street.
The building stands out for its solid scale, clearly defined artistic character, and high level of craftsmanship. It plays a significant role in defining the urban layout and architectural identity of this part of the city.
