Red House Novogireevo

Red House Novogireevo is a brick residential building in Perovo District constructed in 1939 that displays the typical Soviet construction style of that period. It features a distinctive red facade with multiple stories of apartments arranged with symmetrical windows and straightforward geometric lines.

The building was erected in 1939 when Moscow needed to expand its housing supply rapidly and eastern districts like Perovo became more important. It represents the period of industrialization and urban growth in the 1930s when new residential blocks transformed the city's landscape.

The building has been home to Moscow residents across generations and shows how Soviet architects designed functional housing for everyday life. Its layout and exterior details reflect the practical approach to residential living that shaped this neighborhood.

The building sits in an accessible location in Perovo and continues to function as an active residence, so it can be viewed from outside but the courtyard should be respected as a private space. Daytime visits work best for seeing the architectural details of the red brick front and window arrangements clearly.

The name comes from Novogireevskaya Street, where the building stands, which itself traces back to the old village of Novogireevo that once occupied this area. This naming pattern shows how Soviet developments often kept traditional local place names to acknowledge the history of the land.
