Sometimes we refer to architectural splendors as old houses just because the present builds differently, with glass and steel, not brick, columns, and Corinthian capitals. We liken the traces of time to wrinkles and compare peeling facades to the pigmented skin of age, and so we place them in the category of bygone beauties, set aside with only a past, not a future. However, old age is no longer a barrier to an active life today, and this perspective applies to architecture as well. Buildings like the one in the pictures successfully return to their former brilliance and contribute to preserving the character of the city. Neoclassical elements signify not only stylistic sobriety but also richness and coquetry for this house that belonged to lawyer Marinelea Păunescu. Built in 1889 by Olga and Mișu Paraschivescu, the house was nationalized and initially used by a cooperative for offices, then became a grocery store, and later was bought by the lawyer. Today, it is a historical monument and can become an elegant headquarters for a company, a spectacular restaurant, or a cultural center following the example of another famous monument in Bucharest, also owned by a woman, and not just any woman, but Ploiești -born Mița Biciclista. The entrance is carefully constructed with semicolumns, wrought ironwork, decorated windows, and a slender marquee. The rooms are luxurious, spacious, and well-proportioned, with meticulously decorated ceilings and double doors, richly ornamented and wide-opening. The interior woodwork matches the decorative richness of the exterior and is a differentiating element. Located in the center of Ploiești, near the Central Halls and behind the County Museum of Natural Sciences, the property is versatile and eager to begin its new life.
