Historical background:
The building was constructed in 1898 as a printing house, which was rented by S.P. Yakovlev immediately after construction. At the time, it was one of the largest printing enterprises in the city with more than 15 speed-printing machines that were destroyed during the Civil War. At that time, the printing house served the railways in a dilapidated state. Between 1924 and 1934, the building was restored and modernized: a third floor and an attic space were added, and a freight elevator was installed. In the postwar years, technical and storage facilities were added, creating a closed courtyard space. In Soviet times, the 4th printing house of the Ministry of Railways worked here. In 1980, the building received a security number and was recognized as an architectural monument of local importance.
Social effect:
The project has the potential to become a mediator connecting the urban space around the station and the recreational area of the embankment. The building is an important historical monument and can serve as a link between old and new development. The project will have an impact on the city/region, including the use of public spaces and the expected number of jobs/organizations.
