Здание Госбанка

The State Bank building is a four-story structure on Lenin Avenue featuring a grand colonnade across its facade in classical Stalinist proportions. The structure combines generous scale with meticulous craftsmanship throughout its design and detailing.

The building was completed in 1953 during the post-war reconstruction period when the city of Stalingrad, later renamed Volgograd, was being rebuilt. This construction was part of the state's broader effort to equip the city with modern institutional structures.

The building embodies Soviet financial architecture from the 1950s, featuring detailed interior decorations with carved details and ornate ceilings that reflect the state's investment in prestigious institutional spaces.

The building sits in a central location on Lenin Avenue and is easily accessible on foot. Since it currently functions as a regional administrative building, visitors can appreciate its external architecture and presence from the outside.

The building is registered as a regional cultural heritage site, officially recognized as a structure worthy of preservation from the post-war period. This status reflects its importance to the city's architectural character and cultural memory.
