WoX cityscape photography #133
A beautiful historic mansion that I find difficult to determine which architectural style it is ("the end of the 19th - the beginning of the 20th century" is our running joke...) The preservation of details and design elements is obvious in the photo, and this way I actually like it better. Although the residents themselves would probably choose the full restoration option - as usual, with 100% replacement of old original elements with a modern Chinese-like remakes :(
In any case, this house and yard fortunately have not yet been restored -- and benefitted my photo so well... The exact address, if you are curious, is Gagarina street, 5.
Красивый исторический особняк, затрудняюсь определить в каком именно архитектурном стиле (конец 19 - начало 20 века, как мы обычно говорим...) Сохранность деталей и элементов оформления -- видима налицо, и мне на самом деле так больше нравится. Хотя сами жильцы, наверное, выбрали бы реставрацию -- как обычно, со 100% заменой старых оригинальных элементов на китайский новодел :( Во всяком случае, этот дом и двор пока не отреставрирован, к счастью, и украсил мою фотографию... Кстати, точный адрес - улица Гагарина, 5.
