Novosibirsk city architecture

Novosibirsk architecture

A huge fire in 1926 destroyed many beautiful wooden architecture monuments. So now Novosibirsk architecture represented by

• several dozen of wooden and brick houses of the early XX century
• Soviet time architecture
• temples and churches
• many quite modern tall buildings

Novosibirsk wooden and brick architecture

Old wooden and brick houses are scattered around the city. These houses used to be, mostly, merchant mansions. Some of them you can find along the "Krasnyy Prospekt" street, although my favourite buildings are located nearby Novosibirsk railway station (landmark for search is "1905" Street):

• House of K.A. Samokhin
• Gorokhov House
• City school
• The mansion of R.M. Kopylova
• and some other houses
