A rich historical tapestry
In the late 19th century, Athens saw a remarkable surge in housing construction. This growth was especially notable in the central districts, leading to a significant boom in the real estate sector. This period witnessed a flourishing economy driven by new construction projects and the burgeoning demand for interior decoration services. Mitropoleos Street, nestled adjacent to the square bearing the same name, emerged as the bustling epicenter of Athens’ textile trade. The street teemed with family-run businesses, many of which established themselves as household names synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. Among the prominent textile houses, the Angelopoulou family’s establishment stood out, eventually ascending to become one of Greece’s most influential dynasties.
As the 20th century dawned, the Angelopoulou family relocated their company headquarters to the intersection of Mitropoleos Square and Benizelos Street, where the iconic “Yellow Building” rose to prominence. This architectural gem boasted grand living quarters on the first floor, characterized by soaring ceilings and expansive patio doors. From this vantage point, the Angelopoulou family bore witness to pivotal moments in Greece’s history. In addition they had the privilege of welcoming royalty, who frequented the nearby Mitropolis Church.
However, by the end of the century, the family bid farewell to their historic residence, moving to the suburb of Psychiko. Subsequently, the Yellow Building underwent a transformation, serving briefly as a general goods retail shop before transitioning into a café. Regrettably, the passage of time saw the building fall into disuse and neglect. Ultimately succumbing to abandonment in the early 21st century, marking the end of an era.
