Vul. Henerala Chuprynky, 55 – villa (no longer exists) ID: 1941

This former private residence was constructed between 1901 and 1902 based on a design from Ivan Levynskyi's firm. In archival documents, it appears under the name "Villa Romana" (named after its owner, Professor Roman Zalozetskyi) and occupies a plot at the corner of what is now vul. Horbachevskoho. It was originally designed as a two-story detached building. Its hallmark features included asymmetrical projecting avant-corps, a picturesque roofline, and an open floor plan. As a result of a 1906–1907 renovation, folk-building motifs, stylized according to the formative principles of the Secession style, were introduced to the villa's architecture. Villa Romana is one of the architectural landmarks of Kastelivka that has not survived to the present day.
