Buloshnikov’s mansion in Moscow is waiting for a new examination

The project for the reconstruction of the house of the merchant Buloshnikov on Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street in the center of Moscow will be sent to an additional examination, said the mayor of the city Sergey Sobyanin.

This was the result of an active protest of the inhabitants of the capital, who launched a campaign against the destruction of the house. At a public hearing, after which the fate of an old mansion was to decide, about a thousand people came. The mayor of Moscow recognized the debate "hot."

Prior to this, the petition on the Internet in defense of the house addressed to Sobyanin collected more than 20 thousand signatures. Also, activists of the Arkhnadzor movement picketed the office of the builder planning the superstructure of the mansion. Protesters separately noted that the reconstruction project does not establish the maximum permissible percentage of changes, which actually allows you to completely demolish the house.

Sobyanin, commenting on his current decision, said that "a number of citizens believe that an increase in the maximum height of the building up to 32 meters will violate the harmony of the old street," and called on the expert urban planning commission "calmly analyze all the arguments and make a balanced decision."

The mansion on Bolshaya Nikitskaya was erected by the merchant Buloshnikov in 1830. Initially, it was a two -story ampir house with a rounded angle. In 1886, the third floor was supreme to the house, and the building itself was re -designed. Since then, its appearance remains almost unchanged. Nevertheless, the mansion was not included in the list of historical monuments protected by the state.

The media reported that the building was going to demolish and build an elite nine -story residential building in its place.

According to Archnadzor, in 2018 21 historical buildings were demolished in Moscow. Among them - the Princess Obolenskaya mansion, the estate of Yakov Sivov and the house of architect Petrov, who were opposite the Kremlin, as well as the former apartment building in Kostyansky Lane, in which at the end of the last century the editors of the Literary Newspaper was located.
