The National College "Costache Negri" from Galați

Proiectată inițial ca locuință, construcția în stil eclectic, cu elemente plastic-decorative de origini neoclasiciste de origini franceze, a fost închiriată în perioada 1897–1906 pentru sediul Pârcălăbiei/Prefecturii judeţului Covurlui. În lungul șir de proprietari se remarcă Evstratie Ivan Geshov, care provenea dintr-o familie puternică de bancheri şi negustori bulgari, iar la momenul moștenirii imobilului, era ministru de finanțe al Bulgariei. Putem spune că această clădire emblematică a renăscut după 150 de ani, și-a redobândit strălucirea de altădată și a fost redată comunității, după lucrările ample de restaurare pe care le-am derulat cu fonduri europene.
