Покровские казармы, Military barracks in Basmanny District, Moscow, Russia
The Pokrovsky Barracks features a symmetrical layout with an eight-column portico entrance and double-headed eagle decoration at its three-story classical building.
Emperor Paul I of Russia founded these barracks in 1798, making them the first purpose-built military quarters constructed in Moscow with local residents' funding.
The building contained the Prophet Hosea Temple on its third floor from 1890 to 1919, commemorating the imperial family's survival of a train accident.
The barracks, now housing Lukoil offices, stands at Pokrovsky Boulevard 3 in Moscow and maintains regular business hours from 10:00 to 20:00.
The construction of these barracks allowed local residents to avoid mandatory quartering duties for soldiers, which was a common practice in 18th-century Moscow.
