Davit Agmashenebeli Ave

The building built in 1891, located at 184, D. Agmashenebeli Ave., is one of the buildings of the former silk complex, which was a residence and workshop for the workers of the mulberry plantation. The Polish architect of the building is Alexander Szymkiewicz. The house is located on the terrain in the south, towards the Mtkvari bank. The main, northern facade of the Latin "Т"-shaped two-story building overlooks the intersection of three streets (D. Aghmashenebeli, G. Tsabadze, and V. Mayakovski) with a small square-type intersection, which determines its urban planning significance. To the north of it is the Dinamo National Stadium, and to the northwest is the main building of the former Silk Station - the current Silk Museum. The facade of the eclectic building decided in the pseudo-Gothic style, divided into three risalites, is decorated with door-window openings and decorative motifs. The blue-painted building is covered with white architectural elements. The central risalite is distinguished by the architectural treatment, where the entrance door inscribed in the arch of a rounded shape is cut. The interior of the hall is decorated with a mosaic floor and a stone staircase. On the main facade, attention is drawn to the tall wimpergs on the roof in accordance with the risalites - triangular pediments, in which small triangular arched windows are inserted. The central pediment, in accordance with the Gothic style, is finished with a high spire. According to the tradition of an old Tbilisi residential house, the building also has an inner courtyard, invisible from the street, which includes Tbilisi-type open balconies on both floors. The decor of the balconies is represented by the two-sided columns arranged on the transparent railing and the capitals of the transparent ornament spread like a maroon on their column heads. One of the artistic and architectural merits of the house is its old brick storage room, built into the massive basement walls and with vaulted roofs, lit by narrow windows."
