Description

<p>

The housing along the Lybid river.

One can see the traditional one-floor wooden housing typical of

suburbs. The river itself flowed in the so-called trough. A very

interesting thing is the zhygach,

an element due to which water was drained from roofs directly to

ditches. This picture is a rare documentary evidence of the existence

of such elements before vertical drainpipes became widespread.</p><p><i>Olga Martyniuk</i></p>
