Villa mon Repos represents a historical two-storey wooden building with a stone socle and basement, which have a symmetric design and a tower, the view out of which is available in all directions.
There are elements of both neo-Gothic’s as well as neo-Renaissance in the composition of Villa’s facade. A special lightness is given to the building by terraces, balconies, big verandas and French windows. In the period between two world wars, Villa was totally rebuilt: new steps were installed by H. Johanson’s project, and also in 1925 internal design of the rooms was changed, including changing location of the entrances.
In the end of the period of tsarist Russia and up until the end of 1920’s Villa used to be a restaurant-casino.
At the times of the Soviet Union Villa was used as a multi-apartment house (communal residential premises). Villa mon Repos is a vivid example of architecture of the second half of the XIX century.
