Residential building in 1937

Here are two buildings of one residential building, built in 1937 according to the project of Ivan Nikolaevich Dubov. In the 30s of the XX century, architects were tasked with creating a new image of a socialist city, where historical buildings were not considered as something valuable, and it could well be neglected or even demolished. Therefore, we must pay tribute to the architect Ivan Nikolaevich Dubov, who in his project preserved the church of Nikola Nadein – the first stone temple in Yaroslavl of the XVII century, erected in the merchant's yard. He tried to connect the newly built modern buildings with the monument of ancient Russian architecture. The size of the church also determined the distance between the two buildings of the new apartment building. The stepped volumes of the end facades of the houses and the semicircles of the windows seem to repeat the outlines of the elements of the church. The colonnade on the sides of the buildings creates a kind of frame, opening up the "road to the temple" for us.
