Description

<p><br />

A view of the Nova Budova area in the<br />

second half of the nineteenth century. With the emergence of the<br />

train station and the St. Volodymyr university main building (1843)<br />

an active building up of Kyiv’s outskirts, located along the Lybid<br />

river, was started. The photo is taken from Shuliavska (now Lva<br />

Tolstoho) street. We can see private mansions on this street, as well<br />

as on Zhylianska and Mariinsko-Blahovishchenska streets situated<br />

farther. Till the end of the nineteenth century multistoried<br />

buildings – rented apartment houses for the most part – were<br />

built on their place. Farther, behind private houses, one can see the<br />

train station with its tracks, storehouses and workshops. Behind the<br />

train station, there are several public buildings of the so-called<br />

Railway Colony, as well as the hill of the Solomianka area, which was<br />

settled later. The Kyiv St. Volodymyr Military School can be seen at<br />

a distance on the left.</p><p>Olga Martyniuk</p>
