K. K. Schmidt's Apartment Building

The apartment building of K. K. Schmidt at 13 Khersonskaya Street got its name in honor of the city of Kherson in 1859. The facade of the building is decorated with metal elements, and the walls are entwined with thistle leaves, which symbolize marital fidelity. Under one of the bay windows there is a mascaron that acts as a keystone above the window, which is an architectural pun. In one of the apartments, a tiled stove model No. 160, manufactured at the "Abo" factory, has been preserved.
