Kuća Paranos (Đački dom)
Kuća Paranos
(Đački dom)
U podnožju starog dijela grada Metkovića, na tzv. Napoleonovoj cesti koja ide prema mjestu Dubravica, nalazi se kuća obitelji Paranos, u narodu poznata kao Đački dom. Prvotno jednoetažni stambeni objekt, koji svojom jednostavnošću vanjštine slijedi oblikovanje tradicijske arhitekture, potječe s kraja 19. stoljeća, o čemu svjedoči natpis o godini 1882. kao godini gradnje. Natpis se nalazi na pročelju iznad ulaznih vrata, pročelje je raščlanjeno prozorima bez posebnih ukrasa uokolo njih. Nakon Drugog svjetskog rata, kada je kuća nacionalizirana, nadograđuje se još jedna etaža te kuća dobiva novu funkciju, funkciju učeničkog doma za djecu iz okolnih mjesta koja su se školovala u Metkoviću, zbog čega je do danas sačuvan naziv Đački dom.
Paranos House
(Boarding school)
In the foothills of the old part of the town of Metković, on the so-called Napoleon road leading towards the town of Dubravica, there is the house of the Paranos family, known among the people as the Boarding school. This was originally a one-story residential facility that with the simplicity of its exterior follows the shapes of the traditional architecture, dating back to the end of the 19th century, which is witnessed by the inscription of the year 1882 as the construction year. The inscription is on the façade above the entrance door; the façade is divided by the windows without any particular ornaments around them. After World War II, when the house was nationalised, another story was built and the house got its new function, the function of the boarding house for children from the neighbouring settlements who were educated in Metković; it is therefore called the Boarding school until today.
