House on the corner of Vasilievskaya and Lagernaya streets

The end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries is characterized by the improvement of the city and the construction of large houses at the head of the city estate. The houses stood on high stone foundations made of cobblestones or ashlars, above which there was a brick basement of the semi-basement or first floor with patterned decor of the brickwork. The walls could have been adobe. The number of rooms was determined by the wealth of the city dweller, but more often the houses were three-room, with a vestibule in the middle, from which separate entrances led to the kitchen, living room and guest room. The roofs of rich buildings were covered with iron. This house has been greatly altered as a result of reconstruction. Large windows were cut in it and the wooden decorations of the facade were removed - carved cornices, platbands, shutters.
