Edifício Ely, Eclectic architectural building in Porto Alegre, Brazil
The Edifício Ely features tall narrow windows with detailed frames, balustrades, domes, ornaments, and wrought iron railings across its 3,220-square-meter facade.
German-Brazilian architect Theodor Wiederspahn designed and constructed this four-story masonry building between 1922 and 1923 for merchant Nicolau Ely's fabric business.
The building combines Germanic architectural influences with Renaissance and Baroque elements, displaying a statue of Mercury by sculptor Alfredo Staege above its entrance.
Located at 283 Conceição Street near the bus station, the Edifício Ely currently houses the downtown branch of Tumelero construction materials store.
The building encompasses 8,000 square meters across four floors, featuring a prominent pediment with volutes that exemplifies Porto Alegre's early 20th-century architecture.
