east of Atbashinskaya. The beginning of the 20th century The end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries was 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. The facades were plastered. Simple window openings on smooth wall facades were complemented by sandriks, straight or wavy, single or multi-layered. Brickwork protruding in one or several rows formed platbands. Typically, such windows had internal plank panels instead of external shutters.
