The fifth from Ilyinsky Lane or the second from Tryekhsvyatsky Lane house
(Stepana Razina Emb., 5/1) didn't exist in the middle of the XIX century. In
1857 a one-storeyed house of the Volkovs, merchants, was there. The
architectural forms of the house in the photo may surely be corresponded to the
second half of the XIX century. Alexander Vladimirovich Klunfel could be its
customer. In the last quarter of the XIX - the beginning of the XX century he
was an owner of estate which didn't have two-storeyed stone house in 1870s yet.
Building at the corner of Tryekhsvyatsky Lane (Stepana Razina Emb., 5/2) in the
beginning of the XX century was considered to be the ownership of Nikolai
Mikhailovich Nazarov. However the house belonged to Alexey Fjedorovich
Golovinsky in the middle - the second half of the XIX century. With the name of
mayor A. F. Golovinsky numerous charity acts were con-nected.The equipping of
Tver services and utilities was a subjects of his intent attention. He used his
means to light the city with gas, to renew fired blocks in the Zatverechye, to
construct municipal water-supply and while organising public library and
creating in Tver one of the first provincial museums in Russia. The summit of
Golovinsky activities as a mayor became a construction of ground rampart which
delivered the city from devastating floods. After A. F. Golovinsky's death
grateful citizens established an obelisk on the rampart made under his
initiative and named the rampart «Golovinsky» (Golovinsky's).
A stone house standing opposite was erected in the end of the XVIII century. In
the time the photo was taken it belonged to Egor Terentyevich Belyaev. After
World War II the house was pulled down. Now a waste land is there.
The second from Tryekhsvyatsky Lane house is getting out from the common row of
«the single fa3ade» because of its style (Stepana Razina Emb., 6). It was built
in such a manner probably by merchants the Kurovs, which lived there in the
second half of the XIX - the beginning of the XX centuries.
