bump :confused:
AFAIK
in some western countries (England, Austria and probably few more countries) local historic legacy is not protected/defended at all.
Why?
They have only very weak legal status for laughable...
Architecture is the most "visible" way of art.
We see it every day.
And it shows us how developed are cities we are living in.
And also it shows us how culturally rich our area was before we were...
This!
Nothing to add.
One more brick facade
near the corner of Bolshaya Arnautskaya L Kanatnaya streets
Serbulov 's house ( 1899 )
I have found that this style is called "Brick Eclecticism" (=kind of Historicism)
...
i. Kanatnaya street
It's the longest street among the oldest city roads. It is 1,5x longer than Pushkinskaya, Preobrazhenskaya etc.
It was semi-industrial street until 1890s.
And now this is one...
Non-religious
I am closer to the meaning of "Agnostic" / "Pantheist"
I praise Nature.
And support the conception of "Soul" in context of the "Noosphere"...
Few posts ago I had posted incorrect information about "196 monuments". Probably I was influenced by local "yellow press".
Officially there are listed 1354 monuments in Odessa accepted by city...
H. Nezhinskaya street
This street is far from Primorsky boulevard , Catherine 's square and other oldest ares.
But this one is very old enough too.
It was call "Nemeckaya street" (German...
Decent schematic map in English
It shows A , B , C , D and E zones from my earlier posts.
Sure, many streets are cutted. For example, only Northern part of Preobrazhenskaya street is painted...
This is how New meeting Old :
Odin the god and his place along the facade of Renaissance revival style historical building
* corner of Bunin street L Polskaya (Polish) street
...
Very modern (early 2010s) condominium built in Art Nouveau/Jugendstil revival style

Talking about problem of
City vs. Developers
This is not so common as it happens in rich western countries.
But there are some examples of conflictous situation.
This building is known as "...
Talking about sad stories...
For example, this dying beautiful abandoned industrial Jugendstil style Tea factory ( 1909 year )
at the another side of the corner Kanatnaya L Troitskaya street
...
Unfortunately, it's easy to find "Khruschyovka" (1950-1960s building) surrounded by historical houses.
Panoramas of some streets are spoiled by these cheap houses :/
For example look at the...
F. Preobrazhenskaya street
I feel it is considered as the "main street" by local authorities.
There is no official status such as this, but it is their mainstream idea.
Using logic and...
One of my favourite buildings :
(or even the most favourite one)
Falz-Fein 's house ( 1899 year )
also known as "Dom s atlantami" ( "House with atlases" )
This house represents the mix of...
Pure brick buildings
are extremely rare in the oldest quarters of Odessa.
Example :
this Baroque revival style tenement (late XIXth century)
in the south end of the Richeleu street
It is...
Example of purely renovated limestone "rakushnyak" building
(Reznik 's hospital in the Sadovaya street)
* sure it's an exception
...
Talking about problems again...
I like this composition :
Sandcolour brick facade + light cream stucco + various trees around.
It's the tenement (1890s) in a front of McDonald's near the Central...
It's extremely sad that so-many beautiful building are destroyed by "developers" in Barcelona and New York, London and Vienna and many other cities.
"Developers" here are greedy enough as well,...
Weinberg 's house (1875 year)
near the corner of Sobornaya square L Koblevskaya street
like this one very much too!
Example of the Byzantine revival style (unfortunately, too rare here)
And...
Nolle 's house ( 1901 year )
in the Richeleu street
Most monumental example of Moorish revival style mixed with some Gothic elements and Jugendstil proportions...
...
One of my favourite styles...
Kryzhanovsky's house ( 1900 year )
in the Marazlievskaya street, closely to Shevchenko's park
Mix of Jugendstil and Gothic revival
* also I am fond of these...
