Address: Stadiou 26 The property is a two-storey house that was built in 1940, according to DLS. The walls of the house originally included parts of visible masonry, carved stone and adobe. At some point, in order to complete or replace the roof, concrete columns and slabs were built. In addition, a toilet was added at the exterior space. The roofing system consists of wooden beams and venetian tiles. The floors are made of wooden planks in some rooms and of painted tiles in others. The building was included in the catalogue of listed buildings in 1992. The house was renovated around 2004 in order to improve its functionality and the comfort of its users, while at the same time maintaining the traditional character of the building by refitting and highlighting its elements that were worn down or neglected through the years. The works included a small extension of the kitchen, conversions in the interior and creation of sanitary spaces on the ground floor and first floor. To realise these, new interior walls were constructed while a part of the interior traditional masonry on the first floor was demolished to create a passage from the sun room to the bedroom. The stone masonry, the adobe and the visible stone were restored while the traditionally coated surfaces, were repaired and coated again. On the interior surfaces, gypsum coatings were applied and, on the exterior, lime coatings. The roof was rebuilt on a similar way to the original while the cornices as well as the horizontal and vertical gutter on the façade were also reconstructed. The frames of the door and windows were restored. The authentic colourings on walls and doors were revealed and repeated. In addition, for the newly created spaces, colours that match the ones in the original spaces were used. All the wooden board floors were replaced with new ones and the painted tiles were removed, repaired and cleaned, and placed back on their original positions.
