Polyashov’s wooden house in Pogorelovo village
No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Architecture, Photos, Regions
This beautiful two-storey house, located in an abandoned village of Pogorelovo (Kostroma region, about 540 km from Moscow), is a truly unique building, a fine example of wooden architecture.
The house was built over 100 years ago, in 1902-1903, and has never been subjected to restoration, retaining its authentic decor and original interior. The photos were taken by deni.spiri.
