Secular buildings in Vladimir
Since 18th century, Vladimir is a provincial city, so its secular buildings are rather small and modest. Do not expect to see any masterpieces. Still, it is possible to find a number of nice buildings from different periods and styles.
House of the Assembly of Nobility (Дворянское собрание), Большая Московская ул., 33 (next to the Cathedral Square). This building in the empire style from early 19th century has once been a cultural centre of Vladimir. �
Trading Rows (Торговые ряды), Большая Московская ул., 19 (between the Cathedral square and the Golden Gate). A very typical building for russian architecture of late 18th ? early 19th century. The Trading Rows in Vladimir follow the general classicism style with an original project from late 18th century, although the present appearance of the building is heavily disrupted by the signboards and advertisements. �
Old drugstore (Старая аптека), Георгиевская ул., 3 (close to the Trading Rows and the Church of St. George). A small lovely building from late 18th century. �
City Bank (Городской банк), Большая Московская ул., 29 (next to the Cathedral square). The red-and-white neoclassical building from 1896. �
City Museum (Городской музей), Большая Московская ул., 64 (east from the Cathedral square). This red-brick building of russian-revival (pseudo-russian) style is now a home to the history museum. �
Water tower (Водонапорная башня), ул. Козлов вал (south from the Golden Gate). The pseudo-russian style water tower is likely one of the most impressive and unusual secular buildings in Vladimir. It was constructed in 1868 as a part of the first water-supply system and re-built in 1912. Presently, the tower houses an exhibition on the history of Vladimir. �
House of the Temperance Association (Народный дом общества трезвости), ул. Гагарина, 7 (south from the Trading Rows). A very unusual mix of neoclassical and art nouveau styles. In the beginning of 20th century, this house was one of the cultural centres of Vladimir. �
House of Realschule (Реальное училище), Никитская ул., 1 (next to the Golden Gate). An art nouveau building from 1908 with colored brick and nice decorations. Presently, the building is occupied by Vladimir university. �
Building College (Строительный колледж), ул. Дзержинского, 6 (west from the Golden Gate). A rare example of the building from Stalin's Empire style in Vladimir. The project is rather regular and dates back to 1950, although a small tower is certainly an unusual feature that originates from art nouveau or russian-revival fashion. �
