State index: 1.6.200.3
The
building is located at 9 Tigran Mets Avenue (formerly known as Old Barracks and
later October Avenue), with its north-south axis and northern side facing
Firdusi Street.
The
structure is two stories high, situated below ground level, and has an
elongated rectangular plan. The rooms are arranged in two rows, oriented
towards the west (Tigran Mets Street), north (Firdusi Street), and east
(courtyard). The main western facade, facing Tigran Mets Street, features the
main entrance, which is distinguished by artistically crafted wooden doors with
bas-reliefs. The northern facade is simpler, lacking the roughly processed
walls and basement windows seen on the western facade. The upper window frames
on this facade are flat and of the same type.
The
building’s structural system consists of load-bearing walls made of tuff with
medium masonry, with processed stones used on the street-facing facades. The
ceilings are flat and wooden, and the roof is sloped and covered with tin.
The
building has undergone renovations.
