Polyakov Trade House, Regional cultural heritage site on Lenina Avenue, Barnaul, Russia.
The Polyakov Trade House is a two-story building with red brick walls and decorative stone elements on its facade along Lenina Avenue in Barnaul. The structure combines commercial space with classical design details from the early 1900s.
The building was constructed in 1913 when Barnaul was developing its commercial center. It was built during a time when Siberian cities were expanding rapidly and wealthy merchants erected their own trading establishments.
The building demonstrates how wealthy merchants expressed their business success through impressive architecture. The red brick facade with stone decorations was a visible sign of prosperity and commercial importance in the expanding city.
The building is located in central Barnaul and is easily accessible on foot. It is visible from the street and the facade can be viewed from Lenina Avenue without requiring special access.
The building shows a rare blend of Russian merchant style with early 20th-century building methods not commonly seen in the region. This combination makes it a notable example of how trading cities in Siberia adopted modern construction techniques.
