The three-story neo-baroque edifice that houses this apartment was constructed at the close of the 19th century, making it one of the most noteworthy structures on Ingorokva Street. Neo-baroque architecture, with its opulent details, was a popular choice for grand residences and official buildings of the era.
The building’s main façade boasts intricate sculptural embellishments, including female sculptures, garlands, cartouches, keystones, and figures of Atlantes proudly holding brackets aloft.
Upon entering, you’ll find an ornate entrance hall, naturally lit by a skylight window, adorned with elements of classical order and wood paneling. The building also features a terraced inner courtyard. On this side, the house is adorned with wooden balconies and glass windows, paying homage to local architectural traditions.
This historic building has seen its fair share of notable residents. In 1919-1921, it served as the home for the first British mission in the South Caucasus, led by Sir Oliver Wardrop, a British diplomat, traveler, and translator. He and his sister Marjory Wardrop, a scholar and translator, were avid champions of Georgia’s culture and literature.
Over the years, this house has also hosted prominent figures such as Georgian philologist, historian, and publicist Pavle Ingorokva, Georgian painter Irakli Gamrekeli, and Soviet composer Mikael Tariverdiev.
Today, this building is a cherished cultural heritage monument, a testament to the enduring allure of Tbilisi’s historic charm. This property is available for rent, with a minimum lease duration of 7 months, offering an exclusive opportunity to dwell in a piece of living history.
