Mira Street

Mira Street, one of the main streets of the Lower City, has changed several names over its long history. There was a Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya, Blagoveshchenskaya.

Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya Street has long been favored by numerous Tobolsk merchants. At the beginning of the XX century on Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya almost every house had a store.

The first electric lights in Tobolsk appeared on Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya Street. "Poles for electric lighting are already being installed along Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya (also known as Gubernatorial) Street, which will operate from the city council to the post office. The kerosene-burning lanterns available on this street will be moved to other streets, some of them to the mountain" (Siberian Leaf. 1908. No. 76. p. 3).

Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya Street with its well-groomed sidewalks and beautiful merchant houses was not inferior to the main street of Tobolsk Bolshaya Arkhangelskaya. Here they lived on a grand scale, spent thousands, and saved pennies. It was very prestigious to have a house on this street. Many got into debt, took loans from banks in order to buy a house on Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya. Many were declared insolvent debtors.

For example, on September 19, 1903, a house on Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya Street, owned by a Tobolsk philistine (former merchant) Osip Grigoriev Krapivin, was sold. Krapivin’s debt to the Tobolsk City Bank was 3815 rubles 24 kopecks. And on November 4 of the same year, the houses of Smorodinnikov and Usov were sold. The debt of the first to the Nizhny Novgorod-Samara Land Bank was 8293 rubles 93 kopecks, the second owed 1125 rubles 54 kopecks.

After the February Revolution of 1917, the street received a new name — Freedom Street. Then it was Stalin Street. After the XX Congress, the street became the street of Peace.

The first wooden church of the Annunciation was built in the XVII century by immigrants from Veliky Ustyug.

The stone Church of the Annunciation was founded in 1735 under Metropolitan Anthony I. The church had three thrones, and the last chapel of the Great Martyr Mina was completed in 1771. The temple icons of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos and Procopius and John of Ustyug miracle workers were brought to this church from Veliky Ustyug.

The staff of the church included a priest and a psalmist. Priests Feodor Lebedev, John Sentyashev, and Alexy Vasiliev served in the church over the years.

Since 1816, a parish school operated at the church. In 1863, 81 people studied at the Blagoveshchensk Parish School, 17 of them were illiterate, 14 people studied at home with relatives, 4 people studied with teachers who went to the house, 46 people studied with different teachers. In 1912, 118 boys studied at the Blagoveshchensk Men’s College. In 1913, the Blagoveshchensk Parish School was served by: the law teacher Archpriest Konstantin Yakovlevich Kianovsky, teachers Ivan Ionovich Redikultsev, Natalia Nikolaevna Milovzorova and Alexandra Alexandrovna Kiseleva.

In 1863, 335 people lived in the parish of the Annunciation Church (185 m., 150 w.).
The Annunciation parish was the most prosperous in Tobolsk. "The population of the Blagoveshchensk parish is the monetary aristocracy of the city, wealthy burghers and merchants," it was written in the "Commemorative Book of the Tobolsk province for 1864." The streets here are quite wide, as clean as possible, the houses are spacious and comfortable." The average life expectancy, according to the official of the Tobolsk Provincial Statistical Committee Yefim Anuchin, was 28, 45 years in the Blagoveshchensk parish.

The church is famous for the fact that on March 31, 1843, the first historian of Siberia, Pyotr Andreevich Slovtsov, was buried there. On August 20, 1869, they also said goodbye to the director of the gymnasium, Pyotr Pavlovich Ershov, the author of the famous fairy tale "The Hunchback Horse".
On June 12, 1894, a memorial service for Nikolai Mikhailovich Yadrintsev was served in the Annunciation Church.

On January 12, 1907, the funeral service of the merchant Bronnikov’s wife Maria Stepanovna Bronnikova, nee Trusova, was held in the church. On May 25, 1907, the wife of merchant Silverstov, Varvara Yakovlevna Silverstova, was buried in the Annunciation Church.

On March 27, 1912, a storm broke the tallest spire on the Annunciation Church and threw it onto the roof of the wing.

From September 8 (21) to December 25, 1917 (January 7, 1918) the church was visited by the royal family. In 1956, the church was razed to the ground.

The main square of the foothill part was Blagoveshchenskaya or the Parade Ground. Blagoveshchenskaya Square was named after the Church of the Annunciation.

The main building on Blagoveshchenskaya Square is the Governor’s House.

Folk festivals and reviews of city troops were held on Blagoveshchenskaya Square.

On June 2, 1837, the city was visited by the heir to the throne, Tsarevich Alexander Nikolaevich (the future Emperor Alexander II). The Governor-General's house on Blagoveshchenskaya Square was prepared for the reception of the Tsarevich.

The life of Emperor Alexander II tragically ended on March 1, 1881. The Tobolsk City Duma allocated 1,000 rubles for the construction of a temple at the site of the emperor’s murder. In 1882, the Tobolsk merchants decided to put a stone chapel on the Parade Ground in commemoration of Alexander II’s visit to the city.

On April 12, 1882, the City Duma received a statement from merchants V.V. Zharnikov, P.A. Smorodennikov, I.N. Kornilov, P.P. Shirkov, A.S. Grechenin and S.M. Trusov. The merchants asked the city Duma to allow the square to be enclosed with new railings in order to begin the construction of the chapel, as well as to set the days when memorial services will be held in this chapel. The authorities decided to cede part of the land on Blagoveshchenskaya Square for the construction of a stone chapel for donations from citizens, which was agreed with the local diocesan authorities. The construction of the chapel was completed in 1887. The temple was consecrated during the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the city of Tobolsk.

At the end of the XIX century part of the square was fenced off for the construction of a city garden. The Alexander Garden was a favorite vacation spot for Tobolyaks.
At the end of the XIX century, a stone house of Kornilov merchants was built on the Parade Ground. The father of the family, Ivan Nikolaevich Kornilov, began his entrepreneurial activity as a clerk for the merchant Nevolin. Natural talent and acumen helped him to buy a small steamer "Stefan", to export fish from the lower reaches of the Ob, to open his own business and become a merchant of the 1st guild.

In 1899 Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev stayed at the Kornilov house.

On August 1, 1912, the electoral college for elections to the IV State Duma opened in this building. Alexey Stepanovich Sukhanov was elected to the Duma. November 6, 1612 Sukhanov left for St. Petersburg.

In the second half of the XIX century, the Alexander Chapel was built in memory of Emperor Alexander II, who visited Tobolsk in 1837. The life of Emperor Alexander II tragically ended on March 1, 1881. The Tobolsk City Duma allocated 1,000 rubles for the construction of a temple at the site of the emperor’s murder. In 1882, the Tobolsk merchants decided to put a stone chapel on the Parade Ground in commemoration of Alexander II’s visit to the city.

On April 12, 1882, the City Duma received a statement from merchants V.V. Zharnikov, P.A. Smorodennikov, I.N. Kornilov, P.P. Shirkov, A.S. Grechenin and S.M. Trusov. Addressing the city authorities, the merchants wrote the following: "On March 1, 1882, a year has passed since the death of the Monarch Alexander Nikolaevich, the tsar-liberator, who devoted himself entirely to the good of the kingdom and people entrusted to Him by God. All the estates of Russia are her true sons, filled with gratitude to the great and invaluable services of the Emperor for the benefit and welfare of the people, erect temples and chapels, erect monuments and busts. We, the residents of Tobolsk, also need something to perpetuate the suffering death of Emperor Alexander Nikolaevich on March 1, 1881 and his stay in Tobolsk on June 2, 1837."

The authorities decided to cede part of the land on Blagoveshchenskaya Square for the construction of a stone chapel for donations from citizens, which was agreed with the local diocesan authorities.
To remake the tasteless project of a local architect was entrusted to the builder of the St. Petersburg "Savior on Blood", Academician of architecture A. Porland. The construction of the chapel was completed in 1887. The temple was consecrated during the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the city of Tobolsk. On the morning of June 2, 1887, the celebration began with the stroke of the largest cathedral bell. After the church service, a festive procession to the chapel took place. In the evening there was a folk festival, fireworks and illumination.

At the end of the XIX century, part of the square was fenced off for the construction of a city garden. The Alexander Garden was a favorite vacation spot for Tobolyaks. After the revolution, the Alexander Garden received a new name — Pervomaisky.

In the early 1930s, almost all Orthodox churches in Tobolsk lost their crosses. Instead of them, signs were raised on the tops, affirming a new life. In 1924, instead of a cross on the Alexander Chapel, there was a model of a Junkers aircraft on the route Sverdlovsk — Tyumen — Tobolsk — Tavda — Irbit — Sverdlovsk, an exact copy of which was made by master Legotin.

In 1992, the restoration of the Alexander Chapel was completed. On July 18, 1992, the church was re-consecrated by Hieromonk Basil. At the same time, the question of restoring the garden was raised.

In 1972, the Soyuz cinema was built near the Alexander Chapel. It was a typical glass and concrete cinema, with 600 seats, but it was the best in the city. All the new films were shown in the «Soyuz». The symbol of developed socialism, for one thing, and an example of modern architecture, the Soyuz, after standing for 20 years, collapsed after one of the sessions on October 25, 1992.

The two-storey brick Art Nouveau building was built on Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya Street, on the corner of the Market Square in the 1910s. The building was owned by industrialist Isai Baskin. In Soviet times, there was a Detsky Mir store in the building.

The more precise name of this object is indicated in the expert opinion "Office building with a shop". The certificate of expertise says: "The stone building on Mira Street, 1 occupies an important place in the architectural and artistic heritage of the region — it belongs to a very interesting, but not numerous group of local buildings built in the Art Nouveau style. This, first of all, determines the significance of the monument. Having begun in the 1900s and experienced a rapid surge in a number of large Siberian cities (Tomsk, Omsk, Krasnoyarsk, Barnaul), Art Nouveau still did not become the leading architectural trend in Tyumen and Tobolsk buildings.

During the same period, stone houses, which entered the construction practice back in the 1880s — 1890s, distinguished by the eclectic decoration of the facades, continued to be actively built here. Attempts to reflect modern trends related to Art Nouveau in local architecture have led to some original solutions. Among them is the object under study at Mira Street, 1. The building was built in the early twentieth century as a store, and was part of a household owned by I.G. Baskin. According to local history sources, Isai Gershevich Baskin is a Tobolsk merchant of the 2nd guild, came from a Jewish family in the city of Tara, Tobolsk province. At the end of the nineteenth century, together with his brothers Mikhail, Asal, Tsail, Gal, he founded the Baskin Brothers trading house (authorized capital of about 89,000 rubles), which was engaged in the sale of haberdashery, ready-made dresses, shoes, fur goods and furniture in Tobolsk (1898, 1905, 1908 — 1910), and also the sale of groceries, colonial, iron, leather, manufactured goods, tableware, watches, sugar, fish in the cities of Surgut (1909−1910) and Tara (1914−1915). Owned a steamship company (steamship "Three Brothers", the Vera barge with a capacity of 4000 poods and the Assistant barge with a capacity of 14 000 poods). Baskin’s household occupied a trapezoidal plot stretched into the depth of the courtyard. Even at the end of the nineteenth century there was no private building here, its entire territory was occupied by wooden shopping malls. Obviously, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the trade was abolished or moved to another place, and the site was purchased from the city society by the Baskins. According to the BTI plan of 1928, the estate included a corner stone two-storey uninhabited house (shop) and a two-storey log warehouse. On the right side, the plot bordered the large stone estate of merchant Plotnikov. Throughout its history, the building has been used for its original purpose — for commercial purposes. Since the 2000s, the object has not been used, it is dilapidated. Restoration studies have not been carried out."

A large two-storey house near the Resurrection Church belonged to Nikolai Stepanovich Pilenkov. The Pilenkovs were descended from the Tula gunsmith Pilenka. Subsequently, the Pilenkovs engaged in trade, became rich. The founder of the Pilenkov merchant dynasty was Kozma Pilenkov. His son Vasily was listed in 1763 in raznochin, and his grandson Semyon was already engaged in trade and had two shops in the city. Merchant Semyon Vasilyevich Pilenkov in 1790 enrolled his sons Vasily and Stepan in the guild.

In the first half of the XIX century Nikolai Stepanovich Pilenkov was one of the richest merchants. He conducted a large tea trade from China through Kyakhta.

After the death of Nikolai Stepanovich, his house passed to his son Ivan Nikolaevich Pilenkov. In 1863, merchant Ivan Nikolaevich Pilenkov died. On April 10, 1863, his movable property was sold at auction, and the house was put up for sale. On this occasion, the newspaper "Tobolsk Provincial Vedomosti" reported: "A stone two-storey house with furniture and services is being rented, consisting in Tobolsk on Zakharyevskaya Street and belonging to the heirs of the deceased merchant and honorary citizen Ivan Nikolaevich Pilenkov. You can learn about the price and terms of employment from the guardian of the Tobolsk merchant Adrian Andreevich Syromyatnikov" (Tobolsk provincial Vedomosti. 1863. No. 13. p. 97).

The house of Pilenkov’s heirs was rented by the Tobolsk mayor Pyotr Fedorovich Plekhanov. Under 1871, this building is listed as the house of merchant Plekhanov.

In Soviet times, a children’s and youth sports school was located in Pilenkov’s house. In 1988, the building was badly damaged in a fire and is now empty.

Diagonally from the Pilenkovs' house was the estate of the Carpenter merchants. According to the first All-Russian census, the 1st guild merchant, hereditary honorary citizen Mikhail Danilov Plotnikov, his son hereditary honorary citizen by inheritance Danila Mikhailov Plotnikov, servants: Stepanida Vasilyeva Bizina from the village of Bizina Karachinskaya volost, Maria Ivanova Istomina, Egor Andreev Akulov and his wife are mentioned in the Carpenters' house on Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya Street Daria Stepanova Akulova from the village of Kugaevsky, Tobolsk district.

The head of the family, Mikhail Danilovich Plotnikov, came from the middle-class class. In the middle of the XIX century he joined the merchant class. The range of his entrepreneurial activity was very diverse: trade, cargo transportation, government contracts, a paper mill, etc.
From the merchant Zhernakov, Plotnikov purchased the tugboat "Zarya", rebuilt it and gave the vessel a new name — "Worker". In 1864, Mikhail Danilovich and his sons Ivan, Alexey, Danila and Arseniy founded their own shipping company.

In 1899, together with his sons Vasily and Ivan, he established the trading house "Mikhail Plotnikov and Sons" with a board in Tobolsk. The carpenters were engaged in the extraction and processing of fish, traded furs and salt. They owned a fish cannery, opened on Pilar Sand 110 versts from the town of Berezov. At the international fishery exhibition in St. Petersburg in 1902, the Plotnikov trading house received a gold medal for canned food.

Mikhail Danilovich had shipyards in Tyumen, where 14 steamships were built. In 1912 The Carpenters owned 12 steamships. Before the First World War, the main capital of the trading house reached 250 thousand rubles.

In Soviet times, GPU-3 was located in the building. Now the building is almost completely destroyed.

Opposite the Carpenters' house stands the house of merchants Ivan and Prokopy Volodimirov, built around 1760. In the fire of 1788, the building was damaged, then it was restored. In 1789 Prokopiy Volodimirov sold this house for 10 900 rubles with bank notes. The building houses a government pharmacy.

Once the Volodimirovs' house had a fence with a beautiful gate. The main entrance with a staircase was located in a kind of vestibule in a two-story annex on the north side. By the time the house was built, Pyatnitskaya Street did not exist yet, it was carried out after a Big fire. Pyatnitskaya Street passed near the house, capturing part of the buildings, and the house itself began to face the street. In the XIX century it was redesigned, extending along the street to the left and right.

The house is famous for the fact that from July 8 to July 12, 1829, traveling through Siberia, the famous researcher Alexander Humboldt stayed there with his compatriot pharmacist Yakov Ivanovich Albert (Albrecht). Yakov Albert was the nephew of Charlotte Buff, with whom the poet Goethe fell hopelessly in love at the age of 23. The poet wrote about her in the poem "The Sufferings of the Young Werther". Albert himself often visited Berezovo and Obdorsk. Albert’s stories captivated the traveler. Humboldt spent four days in Tobolsk, intending to go to the Tobolsk North in search of exotics, but Tobolsk remained the northernmost point in his journey. Humboldt was received by the Governor-General of Western Siberia, Ivan Aleksandrovich Velyaminov. The traveler met with the historian Peter Andreevich Slovtsov. One evening, arranged on the occasion of the traveler’s visit, they had a lively conversation in French. Under the impression of meeting Humboldt, Slovtsov wrote the book "Walks around Tobolsk in 1830". Another famous person whom Humboldt met was the composer Alexander Alexandrovich Alyabyev, who was serving his church penance in Tobolsk.

In Soviet times, the building housed a children’s polyclinic. Now the building is empty.

The building is a small, rectangular in plan, one-story brick building of the early twentieth century.

The building is a historical monument — during the Great Patriotic War, the Komsomol City Committee was located in it. From here, a group of girls was sent to the liberated regions of the country for Komsomol work.

Until the mid-1990s, the building housed the bookstore "Friend". Now the building is empty.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, a shop of merchant Dmitry Ivanovich Golev-Lebedev was built on Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya Street (modern Mira Street). On September 28, 1908, a new store was opened, about which the newspaper "Siberian Leaf" wrote: "the store is beautifully furnished, with mirrored windows, but its outstanding feature for Tobolsk is a water heating device." The store, a real supermarket at the beginning of the XX century, had its own sausage factory and printing house.

On July 1, 1911, he was sold to Golev-Lebedev's partner Alexander Vasilyevich Yanushkevich. It was a retail store with an extensive list of services that the buyer could use. He was considered one of the best in the city.

In Soviet times, the townspeople knew this building as the "High Porch Store".

A small one-story brick building, built at the end of the XIX century. The side of the building was formerly adjoined by a chopped-up, sheathed canopy, where the main entrance was located. The only decoration of the facade was a shallow arched niche placed in the center of the street wall between the windows. It housed the shop of merchant Dmitry Ivanovich Golev-Lebedev, which sold wine and colonial goods.

In Soviet times, the building was occupied by the Dzerzhinets Sports club.

Next to the store "High Porch" there was a wooden two-story house of the merchant Yakushkevich. Alexander Vasilyevich Yanushkevich sold grocery, gastronomic and colonial goods, oak sides and flour products. The composition of the Yanushkevich family: wife Evdokia Efimovna (born 1884), son Viktor (born 1912). In the house of Yanushkevich at the address Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya, 5 in 1911, 22 people lived (13 m., 9 w.).
In the early years of Soviet power, the building housed the editorial office of the local newspaper Izvestia. Alexander Vasilyevich Semakov worked here. Then the Tobolians called this house "The Teacher’s House", since the families of the teachers of the pedagogical institute — Konevs, Pyatkovs, etc., the police chief P.G. Bykov and the Honored Worker of Culture A.A. Shishkina lived in it.

On November 22, 1995, the northern part of the house was damaged in a fire. In 2002, two families lived in a half-burned house. Then the house was dismantled.

After the reform of 1861, many talented and enterprising people appeared. In this respect, the fate of Ivan Nikolaevich Kornilov is characteristic. He began his activity as a clerk for commercial affairs at the merchant of the 2nd guild Nevolin. Natural talent and acumen helped him to purchase a small steamer "Stefan" for the export of fish from the lower reaches of the Ob, open his own business and become a merchant of the 1st guild. His shipping company "Ivan Kornilov and Heiresses" was competing with the Kurbatov and Ignatov partnership in terms of the number of ships and the volume of capital (17 steamships against 11 Kornilov). Ivan Nikolaevich held various public positions until the end of his days. Felikitata Vasilyevna was also a match for her husband. Spouses make large monetary contributions to the maintenance of schools, churches, almshouses. In 1890 Ivan Nikolaevich died. He was buried in the church of Zacharias and Elizabeth.

After the death of her husband, Felikitata Vasilyevna continued his business. With money from trade at the end of the XIX century, a stone house of the Kornilovs was built on the Blagoveshchenskaya (Parade Ground) square. During his trip to the Urals (1899), D.I. Mendeleev stayed in this house.
The Kornilov children were talented. The youngest son Vasily was a wonderful artist. Olga was fond of ballet. Ephraim was interested in gardening.

The eldest son Ivan continued his father’s business, although trade was not to his heart. He was a famous composer who created such works as "Two Clouds" dedicated to his wife Anna Vsevolodovna, "Over the grave of a child" on the death of his first-born son, "A lonely sail is white" on the words of Lermontov, "You're sorry, goodbye, cheese dense forest" on the words of Koltsov. The fate of Ivan Ivanovich is tragic. After the revolution, he and his family went first to Constantinople, then to Paris. They lived very poorly, on small royalties from musical works. Ivan Ivanovich tried to return to his homeland, but the road to Russia was closed for him. To vent his homesickness, he took up watercolors, painted Russia, always in winter in a silver headdress. Ivan Ivanovich died in 1938 in Paris.

After February 1914, the Tobolsk District Court was located in the Kornilov house. In August 1917, in the Kornilov house, security soldiers who arrived in Tobolsk with the royal family. During the Civil War, the house housed the headquarters of the 51 division of the 2nd brigade of the Red Guard Vasily Blucher. Then the Tobolians knew the building for many years as a state bank. In 1993, the house housed the Center of Traditional Russian Culture. From 1998 to 2010, the restoration of the house continued. In November 2010, the Tobolsk Magistrate’s Court was located in the building.

In 1817, the house of merchant Ivan Kuklin entered the treasury for debts. The building houses the residence of the Governor-General. After the entire bureaucracy was transferred to Omsk in 1839, the Tobolsk civil governor lived in the building until 1917. After the February Revolution of 1917, the last governor of the Tobolsk province, N.A. Ordovsky-Tanaevsky, did not want to swear allegiance to the Provisional Government and left Tobolsk. The house was named "Freedom House". From August 1917 to April 1918, the royal family lived in the governor’s house. April 13, 1918 Commissar Yakovlev took the former emperor, his wife Alexandra Feodorovna and their daughter Maria out of Tobolsk. The rest of the Romanovs (Olga, Tatiana, Anastasia and Alexey) remained in the city until May 1918.

On May 20, 1918, the Romanovs and their servants left Tobolsk. After the departure of the royal family, the governor’s house was occupied by the Tobolsk Revkom. And at the end of 1918, a hospital was set up in the house for patients suffering from venereal and skin diseases. There were about 100 of them. Not a single water closet in the house was already working, so they arranged wooden latrines in the courtyard of the house. Slop and dirty water began to be poured right out of the windows. As the newspaper "Siberian Leaf" wrote in 1919: "a house located in the center of the city is a real source of infection …". In 1926 the hospital was moved to another building, and the city and district authorities were housed in the governor’s house.

In Soviet times, the building housed the Tobolsk City Executive Committee. In 1996, the only cabinet-museum of Emperor Nicholas II in Siberia was opened in the Governor’s house. By that time, the building was occupied by the administration of the Tobolsk district. After the transfer of the administration to the building on Semyon Remezov Street, the question of the museumification of the governor’s house was raised.

On April 26, 2018, the Museum of the Royal Family opened in the building.

The trading rows (trading shop), located in the eastern part of the Alexander Garden, belonged to the Tobolsk merchant Stepan Makarovich Trusov. The one-story building is quite simple. It is made of brick and plastered. The elements of the facade decor are massive and heavy.

Stepan Makarovich traded in manufactured goods. His department was located in the Tobolsk Bazaar, in a stone building. In addition, he had a store on Pyatnitskaya Street (modern — Mira). In 1881, the S.M. Trusov cannery was opened. Trusov rented fish sands. On July 10, 1891, the heir to the throne, Tsarevich Nikolai Alexandrovich, the future Emperor Nicholas II, stayed in Tobolsk. The heir to the throne visited the Tobolsk Kremlin, visited the Tobolsk Provincial Museum. Then he chased Ermak into the garden. At the monument to the illustrious ataman His Highness, the mayor S.M. Trusov presented a model of a monument made of mammoth bone by local craftsmen, for which he was awarded a gold ring with a diamond.

For many years he was a mayor in local self-government bodies, was elected a public of the City Duma (located in the magistrate’s building on Bogoyavlenskaya St. — modern Luxemburg River), was a member of the commission on the Tobolsk-Tyumen railway project (1883). Trusov’s children: Maria, Ekaterina, Stepan. The home address of Trusov S.M. Pyatnitskaya str., 11.
In January 1917, according to the petition, he was dismissed from the service of the Tobolsk mayor. In this regard, on January 12, 1917, the newspaper "Siberian Leaf" noted the following: "He served as mayor for 20 years, 9 months and 21 days, was a member of the City Duma for 45 years, participated in countless different commissions."

In Soviet times, the building housed the Irtysh restaurant, then the Gnome cafe. Now the building is in the process of restoration.

After the Great Fire of 1788, Konstantin Maximovich Severyukov bought a plot of land in the parish of the Annunciation Church from Kashin. He was the first to build his house after the fire with money borrowed from the treasury. Severyukov neglected the Tobolsk brick and began to carry bricks from Tyumen. By the autumn of 1788, the merchant managed to raise the house to a "sufficient height". However, Severyukov got confused in the calculations, and the house was sold at auction. The merchant Fyodor Fedorovich Kremlev completed it. In 1795, Kremlev sold the house for 20 thousand rubles to the Moscow post office to accommodate the Tobolsk office in it.

In 1800, the Siberian Post Office was established in Tobolsk. On October 22, 1830, the Siberian Post Office was abolished. At the head of the post office was the provincial postmaster. He had an assistant. Below the assistant of the provincial postmaster was a huge staff of various postal ranks — protocol clerks, translators, archivists, registrars, freight forwarders. The lowest level of the official postal hierarchy was occupied by station keepers. The postal officials were followed by soldiers, coachmen, watchmen and postmen. They were guarding the postal stations, went with the mail.

In the second half of the XIX — early XX century the Tobolsk post office was headed by Dmitry Pavlovich Stavropol. His assistant was Anton Ignatievich Brzezinski.

At the end of the XIX century there were five mailboxes for letters in the city: at the post office building (Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya Street), the old barracks (Bolshaya Arkhangelskaya Street), the Dementiev pharmacy (the intersection of Bogoyavlenskaya and Bolshaya Arkhangelsk), Alexandrov’s shop (Bolshaya Street), the military arena (the end of Bolshaya Street). In addition, there was a mailbox at the Kurbatov and Ignatov wharves.

For many years, the building housed the Podgornaya post office.

The house was built at the end of the XVIII century, presumably by merchant Smorodennikov, later it was rebuilt by the second owner — merchant Dranishnikov. In October 1852, the house housed a women’s parish school, the founders of which are the Decembrists Alexander Mikhailovich Muravyov and Peter Nikolaevich Svistunov. Tobolsk city merchant and petty-bourgeois societies took a direct part in the creation of the school, donating 2857 rubles in silver for its opening. The grand opening of the school took place on August 30, 1852.

The school consisted of two departments. The first department accepted the daughters of burghers, commoners and other lower classes, aged from 10 to 12 years, and in exceptional cases 9 and even 8 years. The daughters of officials, clergy and merchants were accepted into the second department in the lower class from 10 to 12 years old, who could read and write in Russian, and in the higher — at least 13 years old. Girls who could not read and write first entered the first department for training.
The pupils studied the Law of God, penmanship, reading, arithmetic, needlework and crafts.

After the opening of the school, the main duties for its work were performed by: the trustee Margarita Vasilyevna Lvova, the treasurer and the economist Alexander Mikhailovich Muravyov. The supervision of the educational process was entrusted to the director of public schools Porfiry Matveyevich Chigirintsev. Anisya Ivanovna Rezanova was invited to the post of supervisor in 1852 by the trustee of Lviv and the director of schools Chigirintsev.

In 1854, the parish school was transformed into the Mariinsky Girls' School, and soon transferred to another scrap located next to the Mikhailo-Arkhangelsk Church.

At the end of the XIX century the house belonged to the Tobolsk merchant, director of the Tobolsk public Bank Semyon Ivanovich Bronnikov. In Soviet times, the building housed the dormitory of the Tobolsk Pedagogical Institute. Now the building is in a ruined state.

Wooden two-storey apartment-type house on a stone foundation. Built in the middle of the twentieth century. It has a total area of 183 square meters of all premises. Decorated with simple platbands with an overlay ornament.

The wooden two-storey house on a brick basement was built at the end of the XIX century. The building is decorated with platbands with flat overhead carving. The windows of the first floor are small, but the windows of the second, front, floor are noticeably larger and more elegant. In 1911, the house at 37 Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya Street belonged to the Tobolsk philistine Ekaterina Pavlovna Tupoleva. In Soviet times and up to the present day — an apartment-type building.

The building of the late XIX century belongs to the ordinary mass development of remote areas from the center. It is a wooden six-walled house on a basement turned into a residential floor. The windows of the second floor are decorated with platbands and triangular cornices. The middle room of the house is highlighted by a triple window. In 1911, the Tobolsk philistine Fyodor Konstantinovich Soskin owned a house at 45 Bolshaya Pyatnitskaya Street. In Soviet times, it was an apartment-type house. In 2017, the building was badly damaged in a fire.

By its typology and scale, it is characteristic of the development of the Siberian city of the late XIX — early XX century. Built in 1899, a two-story wooden, sheathed six-stave cross with two stairwells, one of which has a front door and is displayed on the main facade. The windows of the lower floor are quite simple. The windows of the upper floor are decorated with platbands with overhead carvings.

The building is lost. Now in its place is a wasteland.
