Description

<p>

A photo of an elderly woman and a

little girl against the background of the train station, taken by D.

Markov. A lady with an umbrella stands behind them. The harmony of

the Neo-Gothic façade of the train station, which consisted of one-

and two-storied pavilions, is clearly seen. There is a confluence of

people in front of the entrance to the central hall; cabs are waiting

for passengers. The carriageway is paved with river stones and

separated from the sidewalk by wooden limiters. The sidewalk itself

seems to have rather a flat surface; this fact can indicate that it

was covered with asphalt. This may have been done here, near the

train station, for the first time in Kyiv.</p><p><i>Olga Martyniuk</i></p>
