Vul. Henerala Chuprynky, 11 – bank building (former villa) ID: 535

This single family villa (1889-1890, with later reconstructions, co-designed by Julian Zachariewicz and Ivan Levynsky) is an example of Historicist single family home. Small corner tower and dynamic interior outline used to show similarity with the shapes of neighboring objects in Kastelivka (for example, with a villa on Generala Chuprynky 21). During the following decades architecture of building no. 11 lost its original character. Reconstructions turned the villa into a multi-apartment building. Today (2009) offices of a bank establishment are located here.
