Rozhdestvenskaya Street 8, Nizhny Novgorod

The building at Rozhdestvenskaya Street 8 is a brick structure with neoclassical design featuring balanced proportions and symmetrical details. Its architectural language reflects the style that Russian builders adopted during the early 1800s.

Built in 1823, the structure was completed during a rebuilding period when wooden buildings were replaced with stone to reduce fire risk. This shift in construction methods reshaped the lower district's appearance.

This brick structure contributes to the appearance of the historic street where stone facades define the lower district. Visitors passing by see one of many buildings that give the area its distinctive 19th-century character.

The structure stands in the central area of the lower district surrounded by other historic buildings. You can view it easily from the street while walking through the neighborhood.

The building received protected heritage status in 1991, marking its recognition as regionally important architecture. This designation reflected growing awareness of the need to preserve structures from this building era.
