House Clock
Some monuments Novosibirsk associated with other objects of the former Soviet Union with the help of the same architects.So, this house was designed by Nikitin, who took part in the construction of the Ostankino television tower.

Only in 1989 was returned to the premises of the Russian Orthodox Church.And in 1991, his second time consecrated Patriarch Alexei.
Street.Kainskaya 13
Many architectural monuments of Novosibirsk have an unusual and controversial history.The walls of our attractions remembered fires, slander, and more.But let's take first things first.
So while the village builders Siberian railway, Novonikolayevsk located on land belonging to the imperial house.That is, all the residents were tenants, not owners of the land.Therefore, until 1903 buildings were mostly wooden, fligelnogo sample.After all, if it was not possible to extend the lease, it would have to demolish the building to make the site.
Outdoor Kainskaya land went to rent a trader Kuklin, where in 1905 he begins to build a two-storey stone house with the first floor.However, after the most extensive fire happened through the fault of his neighbor, he begins to reconstruct the building, according to the requirements of fire safety.
Over time, the village becomes a city, and residents can buy out areas in own use.Thus, Kuklin since 1909, becoming a full-fledged owner of the land, the construction of the manor begins with a bath and other outbuildings.He thus earned a denunciation from a neighbor (the fault which was the city fire), he stands in the yard "fire risk bath."
State Council dealer was forbidden to use the bath proceedings.And only a month later he was given official permission to bathe in your own bath.
When it was the Soviet regime, Kuklin and his family had to flee the country.Initially, the building was made public accommodations, and in 1986 the building was handed over to the city polklinike.
