Girls with balloons

I've never seen a black balloons so I saw and took this photo.

A historical place in Moscow is Petrovskie Linii Street. The modern street is located on the site where the "Old Kuznetskaya Sloboda" existed. History refers us to the XV-XVI centuries. An unexplored cultural layer of that period still lies under the asphalt layer. Petrovskikh Lines Street is also famous for the fact that for the first time in the city there were installed electric lamp posts.

The building according to the project of a profitable apartment building with shops for the "Partnership of Petrovsky Trade Lines in Moscow" was designed by architect Boris Freidenberg with the participation of engineer K.I. Shestakov. The construction was completed by 1876. The history of the house is connected with the famous Kovalevsky family, who lived in this house from 1878 to 1883: Sofya Vasilievna - a famous mathematician and mechanic, Vladimir Onufrievich - a geologist and paleontologist, a member of the Paris Commune.

 

On the right is the Budapest hotel. Which was built in 1876 by the architect Freudenberg. Its architecture is a typical transition from classicism to modernity for that time.
