Dormitory of workers of a cotton factory in Rostokino

The Dormitory of workers of a cotton factory in Rostokino is a multifamily residential building in constructivist style in Alexeyevsky District. The structure uses clear geometric forms and concrete elements with large window surfaces, giving the building a practical and functional appearance.

The building was constructed in 1928 when the Soviet Union was rapidly expanding its industry and bringing new workers into cities. The construction was part of a broader strategy to provide mass housing for this new worker population.

The building reflects the concept of worker housing specifically designed for factory employees. The simple rooms and shared spaces show how the design was intended for the daily needs of these residents.

The building is located in Alexeyevsky District and is visible from the street, making it easy to access on foot. The typical Soviet architecture makes it easy to recognize and it is a pleasant walk through the neighborhood to visit it.

The building was recognized as a tentative cultural heritage site, a rare designation for worker housing of that era. This makes it an important example of industrial architecture that is often overlooked today.
