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>
