It's Sakin's rented apartment house. This building was built in 1907 year. Mikhail Sakin was a famous Yaroslavl supporter (patron). In 1880s his father founded a weaving mill nearby the city. Today it is Krasnye tkachi (Красные ткачи). Mikhail liked the mill and worked a lot but ungrateful workers had been being on strike for two weeks.

After that incident he decided to give up the mill and take up his apartment house on Netecha street (ул. Нетеча). It's Sobinova street (ул. Собинова) now.

The door.

The door is modern but simple and fits into the facade.

This vertical implements three functions: the entrance, the living room and the balcony.

The staircase.

The staircase remains intact. And judging by carpet holders we can see that it was restored and not only one time.

Pay attention on staircase legs: they are in a Art Nouveau style. This pattern is a "classic" Art Nouveau.

The landing.

Go outdoor...

There is a big window with handsome frames on the first floor.

And it is a great example of an Art Nouveau window:

The landing is spacious and neat but not light. This narrow windows give little light. But Sakin was one of the first who used elictricity in 1907 year.

The trick.

It is an original door of 1900s!

And whole building has one style:

Three storey of this massive house are dominated in this part of prospect. The facade is richly decorated: since the beginning of time it's the main entrance of the city. The house was built in the second part of the 19th century and the whole 20th century it was as dwelling house. Only by the ends of the century there was a computer shop on the first floor. Now this computer company owns the entire building.

The door.

Modern. Plastic "Rehau". Stylish. Modish.

Near the main entrance there is an unclaimed another door. It's more older the the previous one.

The staircase.

There is a corridor (hall) from the door before the staircase. The corridor is preserved without any changes:

Walk up, and now both flight of stairs are in all their beauty:

The staircase remains intact from the time of the construction of the building. These interesting things are wonderfully preserved, reminding us of those times when the whole upstairs had a carpet track.

Pay attention to the authentic legs of the banisters:

The landing.

Indeed, both the staircase and the landing are the best example of a real front door. Only have seen the landing, one can understand the design of an architect.

The front door in this building is the key design element. The designers gave so serious attention to it that they took it outside as a jetty (bay window).

Here it is, on the left, a special bay window for the front:

This architecture method allowed to give an imperial scope to the front door. The landing can contain a small room. But more possible there was a big plant there.

In any case, this space was unobtrusively filled without losing its core function: to provide space and scope.

The modeling has remained on the walls and ceiling. It visually divides this side into parts. Probably, there were wall paintings. The "circle" of the modeling indicates the place of the chandelier.

The trick.

The window. The whole front door serves this window. It's gigantic, as two man's height.

Unfortunately, the window frame has been lost. But we can see the marble windowsill.

In spite of a number of losses, we can exactly imagine how the building looked by the ends of 19th century.

It's a real front door: gorgeous, spacious and bright.

We used the material of LJ user yanlev.

Probably it can be defined by the following fact. A women who lives in that building said some quite interesting information:

— Our home is three hundreds years old, %#!
— The fifth is being totally resettled, there are 40 new flats, %$$#
— But there is no resettlement in that house across the street.

Probably, the residents of the fifth building are living "as at the last time" before the final resettlement and the residents of the third house are more careful with their own flats.

The door.

The door is unaltered for all buildings. There are no a combination lock and intercom: it is clear.

The staircase.

There is a similar version (like in fifth building). It is a beautiful hammering of the late of XIX century. There is a permanent and elegant handrail. We can see a load-bearing structure of the staircase which implements a decorative function.

Such hammering staircase is also sexual! If you are standing in the very bottom near the entrance door and a girl with spike heels are walking down the stairs, the whole front door is filled with a sexual clatter for three minutes. Who will be now from the top? WHO? The whole staircase is sexual vibrating. And no matter that your hopes and aspirations will be completely crushed… Main thing is anticipation.

Summary: the staircase is very loud and noisy, but it's not always harmful (for example, you live on the third floor than you can know about your visitors three minutes before).

The landing.

It is more quality than the landing of fifth building. Most of the window are untouched and we can imagine the author's concept — good illuminated front door. The floors are not so dirty that we can explore an embossing of tiles.

Moreover, even the glazing of corridor doors remains intact. The fact that the door wasn't burnt and the windows remain intact, tell us about the high resilience of spirit and purity of thoughts of the inhabitants of this front door.

This belief, however, has been broken when several empty bottles of vodka was seen on windowsill. But it is a nuance.

The trick.

At last, the third floor, attic hatch is not locked. According to all, the inhabitants of the building are not very fond of door locks and in general all things affecting the breadth of the spirit.

Climb to the attic, and, indeed, there is that which is difficult to get in other similar buildings of Yaroslavl. There is a huge rafter which holds the roof of the working barracks. It is more than 120 years old.

The rock paintings..

This inscription in full, at its root, destroys the very scientific sexology. (It's some words about sex in Russian. If you want to know more details, don't hesitate to contact us.)
