Description
Summary:Basing on his study of archival and literature materials, as well as his field observations and photofixation, the author explores architecture of Olyokminsk, one of the first historic towns in Siberia. He analyzes the wooden architecture of the town, stone structures, decoration of residential buildings, window surrounds, as well as the planning structure of Olyokminsk. The architecture of the lost part of the city, skoptsy’s settlement Spassky, is analyzed too. На основе архивных и литературных материалов, а также собственных натурных исследований и фотофиксации рассматривается архитектура Олекминска – одного из первых исторических городов Сибири. Анализируется деревянная архитектура города, каменные постройки, декоративное убранство жилых домов, наличники окон, а также структура планировки Олекминска. Проводится анализ архитектуры утраченной части города – скопческого селения Спасского.
