#7432. Wooden Facade with Carved Lace: An Example of Traditional Russian Architecture

The photograph captures a magnificent example of traditional wooden architecture with rich carvings, characteristic of Russian wooden architecture. The building is finished in dark brown tones with contrasting white decorative elements, creating an expressive visual effect.

The facade features exquisite carved decor in the form of intricate lace valances and window frames. Particularly noteworthy are the openwork white cornices and trims that give the building a festive, ornate appearance. These elements are executed in the tradition of "pierced" carving, which was especially popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Compositionally, the building combines various architectural solutions: the main entrance is designed in a strict geometric manner with highlighted frames, while the upper part of the facade is decorated with more elegant, curvilinear patterns. On the facade, there is an address plate with the number 46 on a street whose name is written in Cyrillic.

The windows have a traditional division into small sections, which is characteristic of historical architecture. The meticulousness of the details and the harmonious combination of functionality with aesthetics make this building a striking representative of urban wooden architecture of its period.
