Address: Dimitras 1 & Stadiou The building is a corner single-strorey house that was erected around 1910, according to DLS. It is an example of urban vernacular architecture with neoclassical elements and it is considered to have an outstanding architectural value. Its load bearing construction is made of stonework, coated with gravels, while adobe was used for the walls. On the façade, columns and beams are visible. Its hipped roof consists of a timber structure covered with byzantine-type tiles. The cornice is made of carved stone. The windows have movable blinds while the door has an ironwork and a skylight. The frames of the entrance door and the main façade windows are also made of carved stone. The most interesting elements of the building are its covered veranda with a series of columns on both sides of the main face to the street and the stone carved façade, as well as the painted tiles on the exterior and interior floors. The house consists of two verandas, a sitting room, five rooms, a hallway, a kitchen, a bathroom, a toilet, a garage and a yard with trees. The central interior sun room leads to the veranda on the backside. In 1998, the four sandstone façade columns were demolished and concrete columns coated with stone were erected in their place. The stone surrounding wall was also demolished and replaced with an enclosure made of metal wire. These alterations were part of converting the house into the seat of an association. The building was returned to its original residential use some time in the years to follow. It has been recently included in the catalogue of listed buildings.
