«The House with the Mezzanine»
The house with a cross-shaped mezzanine reproduces the basic features of the merchant's mansion that once stood here. And allows you to understand how the Levitan House Museum looked like before the revolution.

The house with a cross-shaped mezzanine (the eastern house of the city estate) was designed by Ivanovo architect Viktor Shakhmatov and reproduces in its basic features the Shemyakin House, a merchant's mansion that stood here until the 1970s and was demolished for dilapidation.

The House with the Mezzanine allows us to understand how the Levitan House Museum looked like in pre-revolutionary times, the walls of which are now plastered, but you can see in old photographs and paintings that they were brick with stucco decoration.

The reconstruction of a merchant's house with a mezzanine on the Plios embankment was carried out within the framework of the Hidden Russia project.
