Vul. Fedorova, 21 – residential building
Architecture
The house is built of brick on stone foundations; it has a two-part and three-tract spatial structure, with preserved vaulted brick cellars.
Like it was in the previous townhouse, the façade retains a five-axis window composition. The façade wall is decorated with banded rustication having horizontal and vertical segmentation. A two-window-axis protruded wall section, located to the right, is topped with a low rectangular attic. In the middle above the entrance door, at the second and third floor levels, there are balconies with artistically patterned fencing, supported by simple consoles. Below the second floor windows, there are decorative inserts in the shape of a recessed reinforcing frieze; below the third floor windows, there are oval medallions in flat relief. Above the same floor windows, there are light hanging garlands. The fourth floor is separated by a feebly marked cornice ornamented with classical eggs and darts. The façade's top part below the crowning cornice is decorated with a meander frieze. In general, the façade is light and modest, not overloaded with decorative elements.
In the courtyard on the north and south sides, there are balconies on each floor with entrances to the apartments.
