House on the corner of Boulevard and Lagernaya streets

House on the corner of Boulevard and Lagernaya. Beginning of the twentieth century The construction of residential buildings in the city of Pishpek was carried out strictly according to plan. Rectilinear streets formed squares or rectangles of blocks and in one block there were four to six plots, each with an area of ​​0.1 hectares. Houses on courtyard estates were placed on the corner or in the center of the site, with the main facades facing the street. The roofs of rich buildings were covered with iron. The facades of the houses were plastered, panels were stretched along the consoles, carved cornices and platbands were hung. Houses of the 19th - early 20th centuries stood on high stone foundations made of cobblestones or cut stone, above which there was a base with patterned brickwork decor. The walls of such houses were made of wooden frames or made of hewn logs. The wood was plastered on top. 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. In the courtyards, utility rooms were indispensable: summer kitchens, sheds, cellars, stalls.
