Bucharest, Bishop Radu street, former Birjarilor. As you enter from Eminescu street, how much the old preparation of the old precursions remained, after the systematization of the Moșilor's path, an unreal image strikes you.
As you move forward, the metal statue of a medieval knight, challenging on the roof of a deserted historical monument, is increasingly distinguished.
An inscription on the scorged wall of the building tells us that this is: “Alexandru Dimitriu House, Neo -Romanian style. The owner, ornamentalist tinnitus, made the metal decorations at numerous public, religious and private buildings in the country, including: the Romanian Athenaeum, the Patriarchate Palace, the Palace of the Royal Foundation Carol I, the North Railway Station, the Palace of Culture in Iași, the Sturdza Palace from Miclăușeni.”
As a distinguishing sign for the guild of blacksmiths whose forehead was, Alexandru Dimitriu placed on the roof of his house a armored knight with such a well -made armor that he seems true.
The man with pavement and hammer in his right hand, a symbol of the blacksmiths, remained stuck during the work, over a city from which the guilds, rods, ropes, curls, lags, dogs disappeared …
Alexandru Dimitriu was what today I would call a self-made self. Read, on B365.ro, about the house of the Master of the heights, the author of the monumental roofs in Bucharest and in the country.
