Constructed in 1926 by Italian architect Leonardo Gennari, this mansion is notable for its distinctive red brickwork and an eclectic architectural style combining neo-Byzantine, Gothic, and Art Nouveau elements. Originally the residence of industrialist Ioannis Loggos, it has served various functions over time, including a cafe and currently housing a store selling PAOK merchandise. The building’s façade and decorative details exemplify the blend of styles popular in early 20th-century Thessaloniki architecture, making it a significant cultural and historical landmark. The mansion is open to the public as a commercial space, reflecting its ongoing role in the local urban fabric.
