Turns out someone even defines old buildings in Wallet City as “wooden northern modern”
An old photo of a Segezha street, in which the houses are covered with red tiles, gave the elders a reason to remember what their city looked like.
The photo appeared inMBU “Segezha Museum Center “, with the construction of the Segezhsky Timber and Bum-Chemical Plant in the 1930s, it was necessary to build a village for those who worked there, with all the necessary social infrastructure. The designers called it “social city”. the roofs of the houses there were lined with red tiles.
When the factory began to be modernized in the mid-1960s, the town became cramped and the construction of Bolshaya Segezha began.
The city is clearly divided into old and new parts, they are separated by railway lines, but connected by a viaduct.
Something similar can be seen in Rybinsk, only there this contrast is much brighter. But the old Segezha today has become a unique monument of Soviet wooden housing construction. You cannot call this accommodation typical. Photo vk.com/@segezhahistory Photo vk.com/@segezhahistory
It is not known how long these houses will last. And they have a lot to say.
