25, Poshtova Street, Zaporizhzhia
This house was built in 1912 on the site of a burned down two-story residential building. It belonged to a Prussian subject, F.A. Schendel. The first floor was leased as shops and the second floor as the "rosiya" hotel.
⠀
The building was constructed in the Art Nouveau style with elements of retrospective. The first floor had brick pillars and shop windows with wooden doors and glass. The second floor was intended for advertising the shops, and it was decorated with a large projecting balcony that served as a canopy over the entrance and was convenient for guests on rainy days. Unfortunately, the balcony and most of the facade elements did not survive to this day.
⠀
From 1922, the building was used as a "Uselbudinok " - a hotel for peasants who came to the local market. Later it belonged to the production and trading firm "Selena". Today, shops are located on the first floor.
