The M.A. Svetlov Library's Youth Media Center invites you to a lecture on the history of tenement houses. Local historian Elena Krizhevskaya will deliver the lecture. Attendees will learn how tenement house architects were inspired by Venetian palazzos and English castles and designed buildings in Russian, classical, Gothic, and Baroque styles.
The lecturer will discuss 10 apartment buildings. The design of one is reminiscent of the murals in St. Basil's Cathedral, a second is reminiscent of the carved decoration of St. Demetrius Cathedral in Vladimir, and a third is reminiscent of the Spasskaya Tower of the Moscow Kremlin.
Elena Krizhevskaya is a local historian, photographer, blogger, and author of books about Moscow. She hosts the popular channel "Uncertain Moscow." She is also the author of the photo exhibition "Behind the Front Doors."
