Hundred years ago, looked the main street of Moscow. Narrow, compact, if a toy! The building of the present City Hall before the revolution was the residence of the Governor General of Moscow. In the late 30's, when the Tver expanded, it moved inland area of 13 meters. A powerful columns and two additional floors have built in the middle of the 40th h.Sadovoe ring. Where now on Smolensk Square noisy motors cars once clattered on the bridge crews and foremothers trams - konki.Arhitekturno this part Vozdvizhenka a hundred years has changed little. Around - the same building. Is that the only built in the late 18th century urban homestead Shakhovsky (house number - 18/9) now cleared of signage. In the 1910s it housed a bookstore, recruitment agency, and even a hairdresser.
