Romanian Houses from the early 1900s have the specific architecture of that time, one called Neoromanesc or the New Romanian style. They have elaborate decorations, that would have looked fabulous back when they were built.

This building of the Pridvor or Cerdac type is considered to be one of the oldest still standing in the city of Bucuresti, Romania, as it was built in the year 1859. The architectural style however is not local, it looks like the house of a wealthy villager from the counties around Bucharest and it is very likely that it was part of one of the villages that surrounded Bucharest 150 years ago and finally became part of the city as we know it today.

A Chirpici house in Bucuresti, Romania. Chirpici means mud mixed with straw, and this material was applied with bare hands on a wooden structure to create the actual walls of the house. This method was used a very long time ago, but it can still be found in rural areas, where old houses survived.
