Perm River Terminal, Cultural heritage site in Leninsky City District, Russia.
Perm River Terminal is a transportation building standing on the banks of the Kama River, designed with prominent columns and expansive windows. The spatial layout reflects typical features of Soviet transport architecture with clear functional organization.
The building was completed in 1940 by architect Aleksandr Zinovievich Grinberg during a period of intensive infrastructure development across the Soviet Union. It represents part of a wave of transport projects that aimed to modernize the country at that time.
The building expresses the architectural principles of its era through symmetrical forms and generous windows that merge function with visual balance. This design reflects how transportation hubs were understood as important civic structures of their time.
The building can be reached via Ordzhonikidze Street, which connects multiple transit routes in the district. Visitors should note that proximity to the Kama River means water levels and weather conditions can affect access to the site.
The site features specialized loading platforms designed to adapt to seasonal water level changes in the Kama River. These technical solutions show how Soviet engineers addressed practical challenges of river shipping.
