Novhorod-Siverskyi City Library
Architect
Ivan Loshakov
Description
The building was originally constructed as a merchant’s residence, with retail shops on the ground floor. It was distinguished by elaborate brick decoration in the so-called “brick style”, combined with elements of Classicism. As a result of an explosion and subsequent fire, the roof was completely destroyed, the floor slabs above the first storey collapsed, and all the windows and doors were blown out. The interior and part of the valuable book collection were also damaged. The Novhorod-Siverskyi City Council has declared its intention to restore the historic building.
