Mashtots Avenue, 9

Mashtots Avenue 9 is a nine-story residential building in central Yerevan with a symmetrical facade. The structure features decorative stone elements and balconies distributed across its full height.

The building was designed during the Soviet period by architects Samvel Safarian and Mark Grigorian. It was created specifically to house members of the Armenian Academy of Sciences.

The building housed academics and scientists, shaping the intellectual character of the avenue. This legacy still appears in how the neighborhood maintains a scholarly atmosphere today.

The building sits on a major avenue with direct access to public transportation and shops within easy walking distance. The central location makes it straightforward to explore the neighborhood and reach key sites.

The facade blends traditional Armenian architectural elements with Soviet modernist design in its original form. This mix makes it a distinctive example of the city's mid-20th century development.
