Neoclassicism at a glance
THE STYLE OF AN ERA
The restoration that started in 2004, brought-up the neo-classical character of its original architecture.
Neo-classicism was the main trend in central Europe during the 1800’s, when Athens became the capital city of new-born Greece, and the rich Athenians adopted at once the style of their new “foreign” king Otto.
Once the home of a wealthy Russian -the Czar’s ambassador(?)- it was purchased by my grandfather, and ever since been the Family House.
The oldest documents show the house was built in 1869, though traces of an older building were found in the basement, during restoration.
