Дачная столица, Historical museum in Siverskiy, Russia.
Description
Dachnaya Stolitsa is a museum housed in a late 19th-century villa that documents summer house living in the Siverskaya region from the 1850s through the 1970s. The building displays materials from different periods, showing how this seasonal lifestyle evolved over more than a century.
History
The villa was designed in the 1890s by architect Ivan Golmdorf to serve the wealthy summer residents of the region. When publisher Ivan Ivanov acquired it in 1910, he transformed it into a cultural center for the expanding community of seasonal inhabitants.
