Gable Roof and Sculptural Decor of Anchor Insurance Company
«Gable Roof and Sculptural Decor of Anchor Insurance Company»

The gable roof at the left edge of the apartment building of the insurance company Anchor with a fragment of decor that is rich with eclectic details (in the style of historicism) with renaissance motifs. Here you can see sculptural stucco decorations with the company symbol (anchor), and a bust-medallion, and pilasters with moldings decorated with stucco molding. The building was reconstructed in 1879 by the design of the Austrian-Russian architect August Weber based on an older building.
