In the second half of the XIX century some of the owners began to reconstruct their stone two-storeyed houses erected after the fire of 1763, adapting their architecture to the new style. Some houses received superstructures. The new architecture differed strikingly especially from the earlier facades with the late Barocco decorations in the central streets and in the Volga embankment.
The first photo imprinted the mixture of architectural styles in one of the parts of the embankment, between Hyinsky Lane (Tverskoy Prospect) and Tryokhsvyatskaya St.
The last on the right house at the corner of Hyinsky Lane and the embankment doesn't exist now. It was pulled down while the lane was being transformed in Tverskoy Prospect. It was one of the firsts to be built in after-the-fire Tver. Volkov, a merchant, built it in 1760s in the place of a small stone house erected yet before the fire of 1763. In the beginning of the XIX century five of the six stone houses in the embankment between Hyinsky Lane and Tryekhsvyatskaya St. belonged to merchant family of the Volkovs. Half of them was single-storeyed those times.
The second house from the side of Hyinsky Lane didn't remain also. Today new high buildings fixing the corner of Tverskoy Prospect and Stepana Razina Embankment in this place. A stone two-storeyed house of the last quarter of the XVIII century which stood there was built on in the middle of 1870-es under the iniative of Nikolai Andreevich Konyaev, the owner of the building and one of the organizers of construction a steam flour-grinding mill («Konyaevskaya» (Konyaev's) in Tver.
The third house (Stepana Razina Emb., 3) belonged to two owners for decades. In the beginning of the XX century Elizaveta Vladimirovna Blokhina shared it with Elizaveta Ivanovna Rubtsova.
The look of the forth house erected in the XVIII century (Stepana Razina Emb., 4) was changed in 1849-1851 by Ivan Mikhailovich Panov, a titular councellor. He built on a western half of one-storeyed building placed there. Eastern part of it, if to judge by the photo, remained one-storeyed till the beginning of the XX century and received the second storey only later.
