N44, Vazha-Pshavela str. / N62, Vakhtang Gorgasali str., Batumi
The dwelling house was built in 1904 by merchant Alikhanov.
The main façade of the one-storey building faces Vazha-Pshavela Street and the fenced yard – Vakhtang Gorgasali Street. The architectural style of the plastered and painted façade is eclectic. Its motifs are borrowed from the Renaissance and Baroque repertoire: the profiled frames of the rectangular apertures are adorned with keystones. Pediments are arranged above the figures. The eave and body of the pilasters with the topping of capitals are adorned with floral ornaments. The house entrance with a wooden decorative door is prominent with its artistic style. The compositions and landscapes allegorical to seasons are painted on the entrance walls and ceiling. In 1953 rooms were built on the house, but these additions do not violate the whole architectural style of the house and are its organic part. The building is an excellent example of a Batumian dwelling house. Its interior is particularly interesting.
