RESIDENCE AT DONZELOT STREET N. 7-9
?
This consists of two five-storey buildings with a unified facade and two separate entrances. The more recent was built about 1856 to a design by the architect Balsamo and belongs to the Paramythiotis family. The structure has the formal features associated with the mansions of the British period (symmetry, balconies on the upper storeys, etc.). It has an interesting volume produced by the trapezoidal shape of the plot, which lies at the junction of three streets. Edward Lear lived in this building for a time.
