Vul. Kotlyarevskoho, 41 – residential building ID: 543

This two-story villa (1897-1898; Ivan Levynsky architectural bureau) has an L-shaped floor plan. On three sides it is surrounded by a strip of a garden plot; the entrance and stairs are located in the center of the longer wing which is oriented perpendicularly to Kotliarevskogo Street. The facades of non plastered raw brick with majolica insertions and a high roof are typical attributes of a Neo-Romantic Historicist villa. The building's decoration deserves special attention.
