Casa a fost construită în anii 1908-1909 de inginerul Victor Stăuceanu, absolvent al renumitei Şcoli Naţionale de Poduri şi Şosele din Bucureşti (1897), după proiectul arhitectului Alexandru Clavel. Din punct de vedere stilistic se poate încadra în registrul neoromânesc, chiar dacă amestecă și elemente ale altor stiluri; Silvia Colfescu o atribuie stilului eclectic, cu elemente gotice, neoromâneşti şi Art Nouveau. În casa Stăuceanu întâlnim alături stucaturi Rococo, capiteluri aurite, uşi cu motive neobrâncoveneşti, picturi murale de Cecilia Cuţescu-Storck şi un tavan pictat cu o dulceagă alegorie pastorală. În anii 1990 s-au executat ample lucrări de consolidare și restaurare. (Silvia Colfescu)

ChatGPT despre stilul arhitectural al clădirii din Daniel Constantin 16: The architectural style of the building in the photograph is very indicative of the Neo-Romanian style. It showcases several hallmark features of this national architectural style of Romania, which evolved at the end of the 19th century and enjoyed significant popularity into the first half of the 20th century. Characteristics of the Neo-Romanian style in this building include:
- The use of rounded arches above the windows and doors, a signature element of this style.
- Ornate window frames and the rhythmic repetition of openings.
- The facade decoration with motifs that are inspired by Romanian medieval architecture, such as the rosettes and the frieze beneath the eaves.
- A preference for robust, chunky elements and a certain earthiness to the materials and design, which gives the building a strong, grounded appearance.
- The large, central upper window flanked by smaller side windows, often found in traditional Romanian architecture.
This style uniquely synthesizes elements from Byzantine, Ottoman, late Renaissance, and Baroque architectural forms, which are adapted and merged with local building traditions and materials to celebrate the national identity.
