    Vul. Henerala Chuprynky, 11 – bank building (former villa) ID: 535

    This single family villa (1889–1890, with later reconstructions, co-designed by Julian Zachariewicz and Ivan Levynsky) is an example of Historicist single family home. Small corner tower and dynamic interior outline used to show similarity with the shapes of neighboring objects in Kastelivka (for example, with a villa on Generala Chuprynky 21). During the following decades architecture of building no. 11 lost its original character. Reconstructions turned the villa into a multi-apartment building. Today (2009) offices of a bank establishment are located here.

      A residential single family building-villa (constructed in the 1890's; co-authored by Julian Zachariewicz and Ivan Levynsky [?]). The building is an example of a Neo-romantic type of single family home which became popular in the 1890’s among the local middle class. The villa was built on a corner plot as a freely standing object surrounded by a garden and flower beds. L-shaped mansion is added by a picturesque six-faceted tower on a corner. The facades formed from non-plastered brick are distinguished by the bright ceramic decor (glazed tiles) and carved details.
