Ulica Andrije Hebranga
Ulica Andrije Hebranga
Današnja ulica Andrije Hebranga smjestila se uzduž luke na desnoj obali rijeke Neretve, a čini je niz stambeno-poslovnih i isključivo poslovnih objekata koji su izgrađeni u razdoblju od kraja 19. do sredine 20. stoljeća. Najznačajnije su među njima kuće Jelavić i Paronos koje uz jednostavnost i masivnost oblikovanja nose i ukras pročelja svojstven za secesijsku arhitekturu te potječu iz početka 20. stoljeća. U prizemlju se obično nalazio poslovni prostor za različite trgovačke i ugostiteljske objekte, a zanimljivo je da se u ovoj ulici nalazio i hotel Vrgorac koji do danas nije sačuvan. Vremenu između dva svjetska rata pripada kuća Popovac koja je najraniji primjer modernističke stambene arhitekture s područja grada Metkovića. Odlikuje ju jednostavno oblikovanje pročelja bez ikakvih ukrasa i nedostatak uobičajenog dvoslivnog krova koji je zamijenjen ravnim krovom te težnja za funkionalnosti. Izgrađena je prema nacrtu arhitekta Vilka Zuppe 1932. godine, a danas se u njezinu prizemlju nalazi Arhivski sabirni centar za područje doline Neretve
Andrija Hebrang Street
Today’s Andrija Hebrang Street is located along the port on the right bank of the Neretva and is comprised of a series of residential and business or exclusively business facilities built from the end of the 19th to the mid-20th century. The most significant among them are the houses Jelavić and Paronos, which besides their simplicity and massive form bear also the ornament at the front typical for secessionist architecture and originating from the early 20th century. On the ground floor, there usually used to be business space for different commercial and hospitality facilities; it is interesting that the Vrgorac hotel used to be in this street but has not been preserved. The Popovac house belongs to the time between the two world wars; it is the earliest example of modernist residential architecture on the territory of the town of Metković. It is characterised by the simply formed fronts without any ornaments and the lack of the usual gable roof that was replaced with a flat roof and the inclination to functionality. It was built according to the project of the architect Vilko Zuppa in 1932; on its ground floor, today there is the Archives Collection Centre for the territory of the Neretva valley.
