 apartment building, 1953_construction, Stalinist (architecture)

This building is considered an architectural monument.

The brick nine story residential building was built in the years 1936-1949. The whole building is asymmetrical. This is probably the result of the long time taken in completing this complex.

The architectural features vary considerably from one end of the building to the other. The left side, which has a passage to interior apartments, has rich decor. The right side is more modest, the cornice is simpler just molded inserts. The central part of the house has a heavy portal with two Doric columns. There are 14 entrances to apartments.

Building was designed by architects JF Friedman, and Z. M. Rosenfeld. Later, the building was reinforced and supplemented by new architectural details (1949-1951, 1953, arch. MP Konstantinov).
