I have pleasant memories of my great-aunt's house (unfortunately, she is no longer alive). The house is called "Stalinka" - the ceilings are high. There was no warm water or bathroom in the house. Only the toilet and the kitchen.
A house with a history! A beautiful strict building in a classical style. The house was built for officers, bathrooms were not provided in one half of the house before, people had to go to the bathhouse. And then the apartment owners began to redevelop and allocate space for a bathroom. I know this story from the story of a local resident. The architect is Shabunevsky, there are many buildings of his authorship in Gomel.
