88. G. Michaloglou House
Brief documentation:
The building was built in the early 20th century by Ioannis Michaloglou for his eldest son Gabriel. It was built just opposite the residential complex built by Ioannis Michaloglou for his 4 other sons. His sixth child, his daughter, was endowed with sums of money and pounds.
Ioannis Michaloglou was a tobacco merchant from Gjerbes in Korçë in Northern Epirus.
The building is still used as a residence.
The building is a majestic mansion with a large courtyard in front of it. There are two front doors that lead to the courtyard, while the building has a semi-basement, ground floor and first floor. The entrance door is placed in a covered recess, which supports the also covered balcony of the floor.
The neoclassical elements that characterize the building are the following: symmetry of the openings, dividing strips between the floors -with a granite cornice above the semi-basement and white color above the ground floor-, corner serrated pilasters, stepped cornice on the roof and windows of the ground floor, while the windows of the semi-basement and the first floor have a simpler cornice.
The ground floor and first floor windows have French shutters.
