Architect
On Thucydides Street, named after the ancient Greek historian, dubbed the father of “scientific history,” we see another charming example of Art Deco living out its days. The one-story house is crowned by a tower with pilaster-strips, as if plunging sharp plates into the surface, and says hi from afar off to the architecture of American skyscrapers.

At the gable facade, the tower has a balcony on a round conical plate with a theatrical arch — the kind usually built on stage when they make sets for “Romeo and Juliet” and other medieval plots. Compact and elegant elements such as the turret, the balcony, a round window and a terrace arch create a playful coquettish facade.

The unknown architect has used concrete elements in the design of the entrance area to form a wall — this will become a popular architectural feature of the 1950s–1970s, which we discuss in the Limassol itinerary “Mesobetonia” (aka Big City Lights).
