History
Built up in the 18th-20th centuries, Kontorskaya connected the Cold Mountain region through the bridge with the modern Pavlovskaya Square. The bridge was destroyed during the Great Patriotic War, in connection with which the transport value of the street was significantly reduced. The plots located on the south side of the street used to go out to the Lopani River, and a narrow passage along the coast was created in the post-war years of the 20th century.
In the development of Kontorskaya street, many houses of the first half of the 19th century are still preserved. Old residential buildings, mostly two-story, modest in architecture - a fine illustration of the old way of life of the townspeople and small merchants.
Residential and public buildings
On the facades of individual houses (No. 16, 22, 27), the naive claims of the owners to maintain representativeness were left with the help of the attributes of classicism architecture - pilasters, rusticated corners, sandrik above the windows, ledges on modulons and triangular pediments. However, the proportions of the elements and their combinations among themselves do not follow strictly canonical rules, the appearance of the houses is provincial in nature.
The naive-pretentious look has a small house number 18, richly decorated with cannulated pilasters with Corinthian capitals, profiled window frames and many other stucco details that stand out against a red painted wall. The desire to stand out among the buildings can be traced in the mansion No. 19, a picturesque asymmetric composition and rough details in the drawing which remotely resemble medieval castle-type buildings. There are also architecturally interesting houses on the street built in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
