Vul. Heroyiv Maidanu, 4 – residential building

The townhouse is a part of the block, whose front consists of three buildings: numbers 4, 6, and 8 on Heroiv Maydanu street. All of them are designed in different variations of the Neo-Gothic style. The corner house number 4 is notable for its Venetian Gothic elements, number 6 is patterned after the French High Gothic, number 8 is designed in moderate, modernized Neo-Gothic forms.

The corner house is L-shaped in plan, it has three floors, basements, and an attic over a part of the building. Due to a rather steep terrain of the area, the house has a high base. Its interior layout belongs to the single-section type. It has a small entryway and two-flight front stairs. On each floor, there are 2 apartments, each containing kitchens, bathrooms and toilets, typically of Lviv residential townhouses after 1900. The brick walls have stone decorative elements; reinforced concrete structures were used for intermediate floors. On the façades, open brickwork areas are combined with plastered ones.

The composition of both street façades is asymmetrical. The corner is accentuated by arcaded loggias on the second and third floors, topped with a triangular gable. The arcaded loggias are borrowed from the Venetian Gothic style: semicircular arches with Neo-Gothic trimming (profiled as a three quarter moulding) supported by Neo-Gothic columns on octagonal pedestals, whose capitals are decorated with floral ornaments. The loggias, as well as balconies on the main façade, are fenced by stone balustrades with tracery in the shape of "bladders" inscribed in circles. All windows are rectangular, chiefly two- or six-section, segmented with horizontal and vertical imposts. This division was typical of residential architecture in the late medieval period and later, during the Renaissance, when windows were glazed with stained or crown glasses. Above the second floor windows, there are linear pediments with denticles. The balconies, as well as the lateral façade's bay window, are supported by massive consoles, whose shape is inspired by medieval defensive architecture. The façades are crowned with profiled cornices. Today, the roof is covered with galvanized tin sheets, although, authentically, it was covered with ceramic tiles.

According to the original project, the building's façades were to be designed in the Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque forms; the building's corner was to be crowned with a small domed tower having a skylight, and the main façade's central part was to be emphasized by a protruded wall section with a faceted bay window, topped with a curvilinear attic having volutes. The façade surface was to be coated with broken stones at the high basement level. The windows were to have trimmings with an egg-and-dart ornament. There also was to be a wide frieze with Neo-Renaissance stucco arabesques below the crowning cornice.

In the late 20^th century a reconstruction of the attic floor was carried out, distorting the original composition of the façades. The main façade's gable was raised much higher, with three larger semicircular windows arranged there instead of the previous rectangular three-section one. On the lateral façade,  instead of a ribbon window segmented with vertical imposts, several windows of different widths were arranged. The appearance of the building before this reconstruction can be known due to photos taken in the interwar period.
