Red Gate Building, Stalinist skyscraper in Krasnoselsky District, Moscow, Russia
The Red Gate Building presents a central 24-story structure flanked by two asymmetric side buildings, with walls made of limestone and granite foundations.
Construction of this administrative building started in 1947 and finished in 1953, during a period when seven monumental skyscrapers transformed the Moscow skyline.
The structure bears the name of the historical Red Gate triumphal arch that previously stood at this location until its removal in 1927.
The building contains a direct entrance to Krasnye Vorota metro station, while its apartments feature built-in refrigerators and waste disposal systems.
During construction, engineers froze the ground to prevent foundation subsidence due to the proximity of underground metro tunnels.
