What I can see
Neoclassical building, one of the few in the city, with Ionic style facade. It has rich decoration and the building is crowned with a roof chamber, something that is rarely found in the city centre.
What I can't see
The late neoclassicism with the Ionian pseudo-columns was a reaction to the Turko-Baroque eclecticism of public buildings and villas of the Ottoman period, and functioned as a link between the modern Greeks of multicultural Thessaloniki and the ancient Greek past.
