Sights of the city of Taldom in 40 photos

In about 40 photographs, here are some sights in a small town of Taldom located somewhere to the north of Moscow which I passed through last month.

In the above photo is a house built by the merchant Volkov in the modernist style of the beginning of the 20th century; now it is the Taldom Regional Historical and Literary Museum.

The residential house of the merchant Kiselev, N. F., built in 1907, now houses a central district inter-settlement library.

Monument to the writer S. A. Klychkov next to the library building.

The shopping arcade on Karl Marx Square, the building was built in 1908 and is an architectural landmark.

In this day and age, the building houses a branch of Sberbank, as well as various small shops selling food and some cheap Chinese and other low-quality industrial goods.

This building was a fire station with a bell tower, built in 1900, and is a monument of architecture, now renovated and housing Taldom's Civil Registry Office.

This sprawling building is the seat of the Administration of the Taldom district, but 100+ years ago it was a residential house of the merchant Mashatin, M. D. with shops, built in 1900, and is a listed building.

Another view at the shopping arcade or "merchant rows".

And this one is the former house of A. F. Vorontsov, a merchant, and now the Tsvetkov School of the Arts.

Monument to writer Saltykov-Shchedrin.

An audio guide that does not work.

Below is the 1908 house of the merchant Kharitonov; now, a small claims court.

The merchant Smirnov's house built in 1912 and that's 107 years ago!

House of the merchant Kharitonov, the beginning of the 20th century; currently houses the offices of the Zaria newspaper.

Another house of the merchant Mashatin, the beginning of the 20th century, used to locate the Taldom printing house which no longer works and the splendor (as well as the plaster) has all gone.

Temple of the Archangel Michael, 1800.

Monument to the great revolutionary and redeemer of people V. I. Lenin on Karl Marx Square and the Wall of Fame. Unortunately, we somehow managed to slip back into crapitalism.

Below are houses that used to belong to the merchant Smirnov some 119 years ago.

And below is a merchant house with rooms built by N. Chernov and N. Klychkov at the beggining of the 20th century, now closed.

That's all for now, folks!
