Oromolu House, Historic monument on Aviatorilor Boulevard, Bucharest, Romania.
Oromolu House is a historic monument on Aviatorilor Boulevard in Bucharest with white walls and grand proportions. The facade displays rich ornaments including garlands, consoles, meanders, and oval frames supported by cherub sculptures.
The house was built in 1927 based on architect Petre Antonescu's design and served as the residence of Mihail Oromolu, who held the position of governor at the National Bank of Romania. The building received protected heritage status under classification code B-II-m-B-18032.
The house carries the name of Mihail Oromolu (1875–1945), prefect of Dolj, minister in Take Ionescu's 1921 government and governor of the National Bank, credited with a part in building Greater Romania. Look for the putti holding oval cartouches and the calyx-crater vases on the facade, motifs drawn from French Beaux-Arts decoration.
The monument is located in Sector 1 and is easily accessible from the boulevard. Visitors should note this is a protected property and can admire the exterior from the public way.
The shell-shaped metal-and-glass canopy over the door is not the only entrance detail: the facade also carries putti holding oval cartouches and calyx-crater vases, motifs the architect Petre Antonescu repeated across the Beaux-Arts design. The house stands beside a later multi-storey block, a contrast visible from Piața Victoriei.
