Restoration work has begun on V.F. Arshinov's trading house in the Tverskoy District, a striking example of early Moscow Art Nouveau. This was reported by Natalia Sergunina, Deputy Mayor of Moscow. The building is designated a cultural heritage site of federal significance and is located at 5 Staropansky Lane, Building 1.
"The building was designed by architect Fyodor Shekhtel. It stands out thanks to its three-story-high arched window. Specialists will be renovating both the facades and interiors," said Natalya Sergunina.
For example, the stone plinth, tiles, and decor will be restored on the outside, while the cast-iron columns with capitals, skylights, and staircases will be restored on the inside.

The building was erected in 1899 for the Moscow merchant of the first guild Vasily Arshinov, who was engaged in the cloth trade.
The facades are finished with gray-green ceramic tiles and white decorative moldings. This color scheme is typical of Fyodor Shekhtel's projects of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
