The Panțurescu House (Casa Panțurescu) is a historic residence in central Pitești, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. Originally part of a noble residential property along the former Boyars’ Street (Ulița Boierească), the house underwent several architectural transformations, combining an early masonry structure with later Romantic and Romanian-inspired elements.
The oldest surviving part of the building consists of vaulted brick cellars, which architectural investigations have dated to at least the second half of the 18th century, possibly as early as the 17th century. Around 1850, the original structure was incorporated into a much larger residence designed in the Romantic style, with Gothic Revival influences. A further transformation in 1918, undertaken by architect Bacria-Tutănescu, introduced architectural elements inspired by historic Romanian residences, giving the house its present character.
The exterior is distinguished by rounded corner projections, stone columns supporting trilobed arches, and two open loggias. These features combine Brâncovenesc architectural influences with elements of the earlier Romantic-style reconstruction. Inside, the historic cellars preserve barrel vaults supported by transverse arches, narrow ventilation openings, and recessed wall niches. The neighboring Mărtoiu House belonged to another branch of the same extended family and shares elements of the 19th-century architectural design.
