89. Iordanidis Building

Brief documentation:

It is a building built in an unknown chronological period. Today it belongs to the family of Michael N. Iordanidis and is used as a law office.
It is a large two-storey building, with ground floor and first floor. It has neoclassical features and art deco style. It is distinguished for the simplicity of its morphology and the many openings both on the ground floor and on the first floor.
Some of the features of the building are the simple frames and cornices on the windows of both the ground floor and the first floor, the dividing line between the two levels, the stepped cornices on the façade as well as the supporting corbels where the balcony and its roof lie.
The angular serrated pilasters with overhead are created by alternating placement of rectangular stone sections. The cornerstones, the large rectangular chipped stones that entered the corners of the building, were placed alternately in the corner, one from their long and one from their narrow side.
This was done to achieve greater stability.
On the roof there are antefixes at the corners. Due to the configuration of the floors of the building and the available space of the plot, the roof is configured as multifaceted.
