Gogolevskaya street (Kiev)

Gogolevskaya Street arose in the 1950s on the Soldatskaya Slobodka called Kadetsky Lane (from the barracks of the Cadet Corps located here). At first it ran from Bogdan Khmelnitsky Street to Pavlovskaya Street, later, after 1866 , it was extended to the modern Sichovy Streltsov Street.

The modern name is given in honor of the writer Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol - since 1902 .

The construction of Gogolevskaya Street began in the middle of the XIX century, when in the 1850s the land was divided into estates. Since then, its previous development took shape, which, due to the so-called esplanade restrictions, was low-rise, it consisted mainly of wooden and mixed buildings with “exemplary facades”. Only according to the "highly approved" in 1881 rules for holding the esplanade of the Kiev fortress, this territory was freed from any restrictions. According to the division of Kiev streets into categories, introduced in 1861 , Kadetsky Lane was assigned to the smallest, 4th category, where the qualitative state of the development of the front of the estates was not regulated.

Monuments of history and architecture

The most notable building on Gogolevskaya street is building number 23, among the people of Kiev known as the “House with Cats” . Built in 1909 according to the project of engineer Vladimir Immortal , it was the apartment building of Colonel Ferdinand Yagimovsky. Due to the original design of the facade, Vladislav Gorodetsky was considered the architect of the building for a long time. The building itself was erected in the Art Nouveau style, with features of the Romanesque and Gothic styles. It received its unofficial name because of the green - eyed bas - reliefs , under the colors of the facade, cats that adorn the large semicircular window of the first floor. The facade of the building is also decorated with owls and a chimera.

At 28 Gogolevskaya Street, there is a former mansion of a landscape painter, painting academician Vladimir Donatovich Orlovsky (1842-1914). The building was erected in the style of classicism in 1892 according to the project of academician architect Vladimir Nikolaevich Nikolaev . According to archival documents, according to the decision of the City Council on October 12, 1889 , the site in Kadetsky Lane was transferred to the ownership of Professor V. D. Orlovsky for the construction of the building and the arrangement of the estate. Having settled on Gogolevskaya, V. Orlovsky lived here until the end of his life. Large stucco rosettes were preserved in the mansion’s interiors (even after major repairs carried out in 1978 and 1992), on the ground floor there was a white tiled fireplace with a terracotta insert, and on the second floor there were two stoves made of brown glazed tiles made by the famous Kiev factory I.
