Merchant houses, estates and mansions, old educational buildings. Merchant Museum on Donskaya Demidov Estate in Bolshoi Tolmachevsky Lane

Merchant Ivan Grigorievich Prostyakov, born in 1843, was a cousin of the famous merchant brothers Solodovnikov, and anyone involved in the “business” becomes their right hand. Here, on Prostyakovka, he lived his whole life, his children were born here. A characteristic feature of the Solodovnikovs-Prostyakovs was respect for work, so among them there were factory owners, homeowners, and large merchants. The Solodovnikov-Prostyakovs' charitable activities were based on huge donations. Ivan Grigorievich himself was awarded Russian orders for charity.

The main house with the estate was located on Donskaya, house No. 7, and in house No. 9 Prostyakov, at his own expense, opened and maintained an elementary school for boys. Later there was a canteen for the hungry, then a public library. Now this small house houses a museum of entrepreneurs, patrons of the arts and philanthropists, which began with the transfer of stands with photographs of the exhibition “Merchant Moscow” to the museum by M.V. Zolotorev in 1991.

New intelligentsia

Currently, the museum unites the descendants of more than 300 merchant families.

An interesting hall is the pre-revolutionary history of the merchant class, where in a spacious room are presented materials telling about the life of the most prominent representatives of the Russian merchant elite: portraits, old photographs, genealogies, personal belongings. More recently, a new exhibition dedicated to the joint stock business and financial history of the late 19th and early 20th centuries opened here. It should be noted that the registration of merchant activity began under Peter I, but, having survived the fire of Moscow in 1812, Moscow merchants began to rise and grow rich only in the middle of the 19th century, becoming serious competitors to the nobility, and by the beginning of the 20th century they declared themselves by building new houses in a modern style, creating museums and new theaters.

The names of the Tretyakovs, Morozovs, Shchukins, Bakhrushins, Ryabushinskys, Mamontovs, Sytins were widely known in artistic circles. Collectors and patrons of the arts, publishers and patrons of Moscow theaters - they made a huge contribution to our artistic culture. Merchants invested millions of dollars in hospitals, shelters, colleges, schools, and libraries.

For this they received orders, honorary titles and high, even general ranks, moving from the category of rough industrial and commercial merchants to the category of the most educated people of their time, sophisticated connoisseurs of art - the new intelligentsia of Russia.

Museum - not only antiquity

In addition to the historical hall, the museum has several more rooms where items from the merchant’s lifestyle are displayed. In the household hall they are represented by antique clothing, women's shoes, old porcelain, cutlery, a gramophone, a gramophone, etc.

Opposite is a childhood hall with toys and cradles, with old photographs of schoolchildren and students, textbooks and even notebooks of that time.

The museum has a hall dedicated to modern entrepreneurship, the exhibition of which contains materials about our famous contemporaries - Alexander Panikin (Paninter), Dmitry Zimin (Beeline), Mikhail Kusnirovich (Bosco di Ciliegi), etc.

The museum has a good library, which is used by students and graduate students, on the materials of which dissertations are written. Lectures and discussions for students of schools, colleges, technical schools, schools, students and university teachers are held taking into account the profile and objectives of a particular educational institution.

Historians, Moscow experts, and descendants of famous merchant dynasties often speak here.

The museum is headed by director Elena Kalmykova, who has many responsibilities, and the main curator and scientific director of the museum is Lev Krasnopevtsev, whose knowledge and experience is so necessary for the museum. Visitors are always welcome in this house - people who are not indifferent to the history of their fatherland.

Timofey Morozov's mansion on Ordynka

Zamoskvorechye, where Ordynskaya Street is located, is not without reason called the merchant district of Moscow. The most famous Moscow merchants lived here, as well as middle-income businessmen who built houses for themselves that were either simple, or had excessively tacky decorations or tasteless interiors. On this street is the mansion of the largest merchant and philanthropist Timofey Morozov.

The Demidov estate in Bolshoi Tolmachevsky Lane

At the intersection of Lavrushinsky and Bolshoy Tolmachevsky lanes there is an unusually beautiful Demidov estate.

The other day I managed to visit an incredibly “delicious” ( for both gourmet and photographer) place - the house-estate of the manufacturer Dumnov in the village of Zarechye, Vladimir region.

The manufacturer's house is at the same time a weaving museum, a showpiece merchant estate of the late 19th century, and a hotel. The recreated interiors of a rich merchant's house with antique objects are quite impressive...

Since we came to the estate more on museum business, we were not very able to immerse ourselves in the interesting history of this place.

Therefore, we will give its description from a third-party resource (strana.ru), decorating the text with our photographs: “The mansion of the manufacturer I.S. Dumnov in the village of Zarechye stands out sharply against the general unpretentious background: a nice two-story house with beautiful platbands and a strong fence. Behind the fence there is no a wonderful garden, gazebos, a real Russian bathhouse visible from the street. A well-kept village estate in the very center of the village.

This splendor is not so old - at the end of the 20th century, the hundred-year-old house was not much different from other houses abandoned to the mercy of fate, left without owners. The estate was taken away from the Dumnovs in the wake of dispossession, almost the entire family was imprisoned and deported, and a rural school was located in the house, which closed in the nineties.

Already in the new era, the granddaughter of the last of the Dumnovs, Galina Maslennikova, returned to Zarechye. She managed to buy the family house and a plot of land under it. The goal was formulated right away: not just to equip a place to live, but to open a museum in Zarechye.

With the help of sponsors and with the assistance of the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum, the Maslennikov family managed to put the estate in order, recreate ancient interiors, lay out a garden and collect a collection of exhibits dedicated to the unique craft for which the village of Zarechye was famous.

The fact is that before the historical victory of the proletariat, the Dumnov factory produced silk, silk velvet and plush, and in the village almost every house had spinning wheels and looms. Everyone weaved - men, women, old people and children.

After the revolution, it turned out that luxurious fine fabrics were alien to the people, and production was retrained to artificial plush and lining fabrics. The fishery almost died if not for the enthusiasm of the Dumnov heiress, which was supported by the residents of Zarechensk.

They willingly donated antiques for the museum collection - in almost every house there was some historical object lying in the attic, such as grandmother’s spinning wheel, parts of weaving machines, and various antique utensils. Some things were found in other villages and purchased from antique dealers. Today the museum is rightfully proud, for example, of the presence of a handloom, which is extremely rare in museums of a similar profile in the world. The entire process of creating fabric, all the necessary equipment for this, are carefully collected and restored.

The exhibition is housed in two houses next to the main house of the Dumnovs. A typical peasant hut turned into a small museum, “The House of a Country Weaver,” and next to it they built a copy of an old private factory, which was called a svetelka: it is a two-story hut, only with many windows to make it brighter.

Interestingly, each window does not consist of the usual two or four glasses, but of a large number of small cells. This is explained by reasonable savings: the spindle often broke off and flew out of the window, and in order not to replace the entire expensive glass every time, they were prudently divided into fragments.

"Merchant's House"

The house is located on the right side of the village road between Ostrog and Khoroma. The house was built to accommodate a small group of people (10-12 people). On the other hand, in terms of the number of sleeping places, it can accommodate up to nineteen people. There is a toilet and shower attached to the house.

On the ground floor there is a fireplace room with a bear skin, a carved table by the fireplace, and a TV. The fireplace is made of natural marble. Around it there are low sofa beds for eight people. Up to sixteen people can sit at the table in the fireplace room. The adjacent room with a stove and a bench next to it (as it was in the old days) can accommodate up to four people. Both rooms on the first floor open onto a veranda, which is used as a kitchen (there is a cutting table, a refrigerator, a gas stove). From the veranda, one of the doors leads to the toilet and shower room. From the kitchen-veranda, a staircase leads to the second floor, where there is a billiard table (“seven”), surrounded by two couches (each for one person).

From the second floor veranda there are entrances to two rooms. One has two beds (for four people), and the other has a wide bed for two people. The rooms contain carved tables, oil heaters and wicker lampshades.

From April to October, tourists enjoy using a large table installed on the gulbische - a cold veranda with windows - shutters, attached to the house. Next to the house there is a covered magnesium. Around it, up to fourteen people can sit on logs. The distance between the houses is significant, so tourists feel quite autonomous.

Merchant houses, estates and mansions, old educational buildings

In Murom, as in any other merchant city, civil buildings of the 18th-19th centuries have been preserved, mainly the estates and mansions of Murom merchants and merchant women. Unfortunately, many ancient buildings were destroyed, because after large fires at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries. the city was completely rebuilt.

KRASNOARMEYSKAYA STREET

From the Ermakov estate you can walk along Uspenskaya Street (modern Krasnoarmeyskaya Street). The street is small, it is closed on both sides by church buildings: on the one hand, the Annunciation and Trinity Monasteries, on the other, the Assumption (St. George) Church, built in 1792 at the expense of the merchant Dmitry Ivanovich Likhonin. This is one of the few streets of modern Murom, which to some extent has preserved the mood and appearance of the district town of the beginning. XX century There are one-story houses with a rustic look “with three windows”, and two-story houses with a wooden top and a stone bottom. Such half-stone houses were very convenient both for living and for running your own business or craft. Nearby is the Shtapsky ravine (or Uspensky - after the name of the temple).
Rich stone mansions stand out among the ordinary buildings on Krasnoarmeyskaya Street (formerly Uspenskaya). One of them (25 Krasnoarmeyskaya St.) belonged to the hereditary honorary citizen Fyodor Vasilyevich Suzdaltsev. This beautiful two-story house with columns is still the decoration of the entire street. Fyodor Vasilyevich bought it in 1846. There are practically no houses of this type left in Murom. Unfortunately, the building requires restoration.
The owner of the house F.V. Suzdaltsev was engaged in the linen and bread trade and had a linen establishment. In 1848 he was elected burgomaster to the magistrate, and then city mayor (from 1857 to 1859). The position of mayor was held by his father Vasily Timofeevich and older brother Ivan.

PERVOMAISKAYA STREET

Modern Pervomayskaya Street in Murom stretches from north to south for more than two kilometers. It originates from the ancient administrative center of the city - the Kremlin over the Oka. Parallel to it is located one of the central artels of the city - st. Lenin.

In the 17th century, after the city had long ago lost its significance as a military outpost and the Kremlin had fallen into disrepair, the Nikolo-Zaryadskaya Church was built on its northwestern side. From her the street was called Nikolskaya.
Many centuries passed over the street, but the winds of time changed its appearance little. And the easier it is to mentally imagine the events of long ago, which the old street witnessed.

Some hundred years ago, on Pervomaiskaya only certain blocks were once covered with cobblestones. On the road and on the sidewalks, not only passers-by, but also horses and carts got stuck in the mud. But for several decades now, the roadway has been covered with asphalt. Over time, the appearance changed. In the south, some tiny wooden houses fell to the onslaught of builders. A deep ravine stretched from the river to the middle of the street. Postal routes from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod and Siberia ran along its bottom. Along Nikolskaya they went out onto Moskovskaya and out of the city towards Moscow.
In October 1790, A.N. was taken to Siberian exile along this street. Radishcheva. Dishonored, sick, shackled, he saw life around him that confirmed he was right. In 1826, along this same mournful road, the wives of the Decembrists, exiled to Siberia, went to hard labor to join their husbands. The princely carriages carried E.I. Trubetskoy, M.N. Volkonskaya, A.G. Muravyov. The 23-year-old went into exile along the same road, separated from his family and fiancée.

In several places, the street blocks recede deeper into the area. Here, at the intersection with Komsomolskaya Street, since those ancient times, when one of the water booths, built along with the water supply system in the Middle Ages, stood here. XIX century, a wasteland was formed, In the 60s. of our century they tried to turn it into a youth park, but it didn’t work out. This place changed and became one of the remarkable corners of the city after they decided to install here a bust of twice Hero of Socialist Labor Rostislav Apollosovich Belyakov.

House of the Shvedov-Karatygins

On the former Blagoveshchenskaya Street (now Timiryazev Street, 3) stands one of the most interesting houses in the city. Abandoned to the mercy of fate and forgotten by everyone, it makes a depressing impression, gaping with the empty eye sockets of broken windows. Old-timers call it "Karatygin's House". However, in local history literature, the former mansion of the Karatygin merchants is mentioned only with the proclamation of Soviet power. Few people know that in 1875 it was located. For a long time nothing was known about the fate of the house and its owners. Archival research has shown that the Karatygin House has a very interesting history.

Initially, the house belonged to the merchant of the first guild, Grigory Aleksandrovich Shvedov. G.A. Shvedov was born in 1804. First he lived in Vladimir, and then in Orenburg. Having accumulated capital, in 1831 he joined the merchants of the second guild of Simbirsk. Four years later G.A. Shvedov became a merchant of the first guild. In 1835, together with his family, the merchant moved to Stavropol, and two years later - to Murom. On May 17, 1837, becoming a Murom merchant, G.A. Shvedov acquires a plot of land in the 16th block on Blagoveshchenskaya Street and builds a beautiful house. Below, in the ravine, there was a linen factory, purchased on September 29, 1836. Three years later, Shvedov’s factory was considered one of the best in the city. About its owner, local historian A.A. Titov wrote enthusiastically: “The merchant G.A. Shvedov, having again set up the factory in the best possible way, with his capital and knowledge of chemistry and mechanics, promises good success in this manufacturing industry.” It is also known that G.A. Shvedov was engaged in beet processing and sugar production. On May 13, 1843, the Senate elevated G.A. Shvedov and his family to hereditary honorary citizenship. The family of the merchant of the first guild was large: his wife Elena Ivanovna and five children - Peter (b. 1829), Mikhail (b. 1832), Elena (b. 1834), Nikolai (b. 1837), Anna (b. 1841) and Ivan (b. 1844). After the death of their father, the Shvedov brothers were unable to independently conduct trading operations. Gradually they went bankrupt. On December 7, 1862, the Shvedov family estate passed to the merchant of the third guild, Maxim Afanasyevich Karatygin.

TRADE RANKS

Shopping arcades
Square of the 1100th anniversary of Murom, no. 2

The shopping arcades in Murom were built in 1816. This is a fairly simple, classical structure, but not without the majesty that the arches and massive columns of the Doric order give it. Under the rows there were deep cellars with vaulted ceilings where grain was stored. The quality of construction of the shopping arcades is such that they have been able to withstand almost 200 years with virtually no repairs. The colorful shopping arcades appear repeatedly in various films. But being scenery in a movie is by no means their only or main function. There is still trade here, and behind the rows there is a large city market.
The following facilities are located in this building: Central Library, Cafe "Barin".

House of merchant I.V. Korshchikova

Address: st. Moskovskaya, 26
In 1886, the newspaper Sovremennye Izvestia, commenting on the progress of the investigation, wrote that the Murom merchant I.V. Korshchikov had a very dark reputation. The former beggar of the village of Karacharovo suddenly began to become rich. There was talk about selling counterfeit money. Back in the early 1880s. he bought two stone houses in Murom - on Rozhdestvenskaya Street (not preserved) and on Moskovskaya (No. 26).
In 1885, yesterday's peasant became a merchant. It is known that initially I.V. Korshchikov was engaged in wine farming (one of the most profitable businesses in Russia). In the 1890s. merchant I.V. Korshchikov and his son Ivan owned a stone shop in Gostiny Dvor. Having accumulated capital in the wine business, by the end of the 90s. The Korshchikovs engaged in an equally profitable grain trade. After the death of the head of the family (he died in 1905), Mikhail Korshchikov began to manage trading affairs. In 1911 he owned nine bread shops. .
