As evidenced by the inscription above the main entrance, this mansion belonged to the Foroglou family. It is of eclectic architecture and follows the neoclassical logic of base-main body- crowning. Other neoclassical elements are the parapet, the gobbles and the relief decorative strip that runs the building and its pattern resembles a meander. In addition, the building bears Art Deco elements, such as the patterns on the balustrades and the door of the main entrance. It consists of a ground floor and 3 floors and its openings are developed in vertical zones. The erckers (projected enclosed balconies) are very characteristic, since they include openings even on their narrow sides.
The Foroglou family also owned the homonymous gallery, as well as the mansion at the crossroad of Ionos Dragoumi and Filippou Streets.
