The urban houses were built with local stone with tiled roofs and a wooden construction called sachnisi that extends at the second floor of the house, for saving of space. Many interesting public buildings were constructed and survive till today, such as the Girls School in Mytilene, completed in 1899. Today, only few constructions of this type survive.
