Yabrud: residential houses with central hall floor plans

Yabrud: residential houses with central hall floor plans

Street view with central hall house. This building along the street shows a local variation (of the Qalamun Mountains) of the house form known from Lebanon since the middle of the 19th century: shaded entrance hall with an entrance arcade of three arches on round columns on the ground floor, above it on the upper floor the repetition as open seating area with balcony in front. A symmetrical stone façade made of cleanly carved limestone and slender arched windows. These houses were probably built in the first quarter of the twentieth century.
