The northern street-front of Brașov street, a representative street of Elisabetin quarter, is remarkable through its homogenous ensemble of two story houses built at the beginning of the 20th century. Recently restored, the house at number 6 has an elegant facade, defined by geometrical decoration characteristic of turn of the century aesthetics.
As a composition, the house’s facade is symmetrical and divided into five bays: the middle bay contains the building’s entrance and its only balcony. The three bays that mark the facade’s central area are delineated in the upper register by an arched frontispiece that shelters the facade’s most elaborate ornamentation - dynamic compositions with acanthus leaves interpreted in the manner of the 1900 Style flank the main decorative element: a feminine face in vegetal decor, placed in the arch’s keystone.
The story of the house begins in 1905, when Adolf Neufeld, one of Timișoara’s most important timber merchants, places a bid for one of the new house lots available near the former livestock market. With a total surface of 266 Austrian klafters (about 957 square meters), the lot is bought by Adolf Neufeld for the price of 26.33 kronen/klafter, a total sum of 7033.78 kronen. On the month of April 1905 he obtains an authorisation to build a two story house that is soon completed in the fall of the same year.
