Basova Street

The left bank of the Abramka River (Abramovsky) has long been favored by Tobolsk philistines and representatives of the poor merchants. In total, as of 1911, 24 homeowners were registered, one of whom was the brother of the famous traveler and local historian Grigory Matveevich Dmitriev-Sadovnikov (1885−1921) — Mikhail Matveevich.

Grigory Matveyevich Dmitriev-Sadovnikov was born and educated at the district school of the city of Tobolsk. From 1904 to 1913 he taught at the Laryak rural primary school of the Surgut district. He regularly made excursions around the Vakhovsky Region, collected information on geography, ethnography, the language of the Khanty, actively collaborated with the Tobolsk Provincial Museum and was published in the "Yearbook of the Tobolsk Provincial Museum". He was an active public figure, one of the leading employees of the Tobolsk newspapers "Zemlya i Volya" and "Tobolsk Narodnoe Slovo".

He participated in the museum’s expedition to the valley of the Vakh River, where he conducted expeditionary research in the basins of the Polui, Nadym and Severnaya Sosva rivers. Seven years later, in 1920, he participated in the expedition of the People’s Commissariat of Foreign Trade, organized for the scientific and economic survey of the Ob-Ural-Pechersk North.
In Soviet times, Abramovskaya Rechka Street was renamed Basova Street. The street was named in honor of the industrialist Emelyan Sofronovich Basov. A native of the Tobolsk peasants, Basov, with thirty compatriots sailed down the Lena River to the Arctic Sea.

By order of the Tobolsk governor, the team was ordered to explore the sea route to Kamchatka. In 1733, Emelyan Sofronovich was appointed to the Cossack team of the Pacific city of Okhotsk, promoted to sergeant and sent to Kamchatka to collect a tax from local residents-yasak. And soon Basov was sent to Moscow, to the Siberian order, to accompany Yasak to the royal treasury. There, having seen how many gold chervonets foreign merchants give for Kamchatka furs, he asked for permission for long-distance sea voyages to find new lands and fur production.
Basov, together with the Moscow merchant Serebrennikov, was the first Russian to sail to Bering Island, fishing for sea beaver-sea otter in the Bering Sea. Traveling in the same direction in 1744−1750, he returned each time with a rich fur booty. Following his example, other sailors began to go further and further to the fisheries and little by little discovered all the Aleutian Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Two bays of the Medny Island — Basovskaya Bay and Petrovskaya Bay — were named after Basov and his vessel "Peter", on which he sailed in 1747.

One of the most striking examples of urban development at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. A wooden two-storey house on a massive basement on the bank of the Abramka River is perceived as placed on a high pedestal. According to its composition, the building belongs to the type of urban apartment building. The house is built according to the corridor system. The most beautiful is its facade decor, in which the features of the Tobolsk and Tyumen schools of wooden architecture were traced.

In 1990, the house was put on state protection. Currently, work is underway to preserve it.

It is located on Basova Street, near the bridge over the river Abramka. It was built in the late XIX — early XX century and is an ordinary residential house for one family, which were built by poor burghers. For more than a century, the house has grown into the ground up to the windows.

Two-storey wooden house built in the late XIX — early XX century. It is a common type of apartment building in Siberia, apartment type. In 1911, the Tobolsk philistine Abram Girshevich Reizman owned the building at the address Abramovskaya Rechka, 14. In 1935−1938, the building housed a boarding school. It is currently a residential building.
