The restoration project is implemented with the sponsorship of Hellenic Petroleum, a subsidiary company of the HELLENiQ ENERGY Group, in the amount of 511,000 euros.
Lina Mendoni and Andreas Siamisii were informed by the designer Eleni-Anna Chlepa about the progress of the repair and restoration of the building, in its original form.

The two-story “Adam House”, with a total area of 160 m2, dates back to 1927. It remained in the ownership of the Adam family until November 1979, when the Ministry of Culture began a process of declaring the property expropriated, which was completed in 1994 with the building goes to the State. As early as 1990, the “Adam House” was characterized as a remarkable building of the interwar period with neoclassical elements and was declared a preserve under special conditions, as it is a typical example of a middle-class single-family house with influences from late classicism.
About 87% of the restoration work is currently complete. The project will be completed by next June, with the preservation of its architectural elements.
