What I can see
Prevedourakis Mansion is an eclectic building with neoclassical (e.g. semi-columns, corbles), art nouveau (e.g. arched openings) and neo-baroque elements. The decoration of the 1st and 2nd floors is different from that of the 3rd and 4th. Along with the ground floor, three symmetrical horizontal zones are created. We do not know if the imposing dome at the corner of the building was included in the original plans.
What I can't see
The original design of the architect Leonidas Palaiologos was modified. This modification also included the construction of balconies. Prevedourakis Mansion was an apartment building until it was abandoned. Today, it houses a well-known multinational clothing company and the interior of the building has been significantly altered.
