Shakhvorostov house, 19th-century merchant residence in Almaly, Kazakhstan.
The Shakhvorostov house displays traditional wooden construction methods with intricate exterior decorations and architectural elements characteristic of merchant houses from the 1890s.
Built in 1890 by architect Andrei Zenkov, this structure survived the major earthquakes that affected numerous buildings in the former city of Verniy.
The building represents the economic status of Kazakhstan merchants during the late 19th century through its architectural design and prominent location.
The house stands behind metal panels in central Almaty, near Panfilov Park and Zenkov Cathedral, within walking distance of multiple historical landmarks.
This wooden residence incorporates specific architectural solutions developed to withstand seismic activity while maintaining the grandeur expected of merchant housing.
