Дома со шпилем

Two identical five-story brick residential buildings stand at the intersection of Sovetskaya and Chelyuskintsev streets, featuring pointed spires and stars at their towers.

The buildings were constructed between 1953 and 1955 according to plans by the State Design Institute of Aviation Industry under the Soviet Union's development program.

Local residents refer to these buildings as 'Shpilki', and they represent the architectural style of Stalinist Empire, common across the Soviet Union in the 1950s.

The ground floors of both buildings contain retail spaces, with the western building housing the city's first department store and the eastern one featuring a plus-size clothing store.

Between these buildings stands Heroes of the Great Patriotic War Square, featuring a fountain, an unknown soldier's grave, and the Cranes Monument.
