Residential House at Egnate Ninoshvili Street N27 / P. Melikishvili Street N1, Batumi
Brief Description:
This two-story brick house, built between 1898-1902, belonged to Mikhail Nakashidze, a prominent member of the Batumi council. From 1921, the house was often visited by the famous Georgian writer Chabua Amirejibi.
The house is distinguished by unplastered brick facades, with decorative elements carved into the brickwork. The plinth is plastered and features rustic imitation. The main facade faces Egnate Ninoshvili Street, and the building has slightly projecting risalits at both ends. The left risalit is capped with a high parapet, while the right risalit marks the corner volume, with a low mansard roof above the cornice.
On the first floor, windows are topped with rectangular recesses, with brick-imitation (rustic) carvings. On the second floor, there are semi-circular arched windows in the risalit areas: a pair on the left and one on the right. Between them, in the middle of the facade, are three arched openings (two doors and one window), in front of which is a metal balcony. The decoration above these openings mirrors the rectangular recesses of the first-floor windows.
The P. Melikishvili Street facade features two blind windows and one real window per floor, with two verandas extending from the rear side, where the house opens into a small courtyard. The house is crowned with a high cornice finished with brick-carved dentils. The mansard added above it has a metal balcony on the Egnate Ninoshvili side and three windows facing P. Melikishvili Street.
This house is an excellent example of brick architecture in Batumi, reflecting the city s historical architectural style.
