What I can see
A listed building with only its facades preserved. The architect, Konstantinos Kitsikis, combined the solidity of modernistic volumes with the decorative elements of eclecticism and neoclassicism.
What I can't see
It was built on the site of a previous house, which was owned by Eleftherios Venizelos’ son, Kyriakos. The new building passed on to his descendants, and in recent decades has had several owners.
