Buildings of architecture of 19-20 centuries
The unique wooden Art Nouveau still lives in the house of the merchant Luzhin (28, Kirov Street), in the amazing, like a fairy-tale house of the Rybkin peasants on the Embankment. Fadeev, in the house of doctor Zhardetsky. Clypeus with strange animals, unusual round window frames, like big eyes, wooden laces, framed wings, balconies, roofs - all this tells us about the exquisite Silver Age, whose philosophy was beauty ...
An example of a unique, unparalleled in the world of tent architecture is the Transfiguration Cathedral, built in the early 20th century. Undoubtedly, interesting buildings are built in the style of classicism: these are the trading rows of the old and new Gostiny Dvorov, the house of merchant VD Sobtsov (5, Uritsky Street), a two-storeyed inn with narrow arched windows resembling the palaces of the capital (st. Uritsky, 9) and, of course, the Ascension Church is the oldest building in the city (the church was erected in 1813-1814). Photo by Kimr (11)
