Hotel Moskovskaya (formerly Bolshaya Moskovskaya) is a hotel in Rostov-on-Don, located on Bolshaya Sadovaya Street (house number 62). The building of the hotel was built in 1893-1896 by the architect AN Pomerantsev with the participation of NN Durbach. At the moment the hotel is closed, reconstruction is planned. The building of the hotel "Moskovskaya" has the status of an object of cultural heritage of regional significance.

History

In the middle of the 19th century, a merchant of Armenian origin, Mares Babajanyan, who lived in India, bequeathed part of his fortune to the city of Nakhichevan-on-Don for charity. In 1860, the writer and revolutionary democrat Mikael Nalbaldyan wrote an article in his journal Polar Lights (Hyusisapayl), in which he urged the Nakhicheans to take measures to receive these funds. Then in the city council Nakhichevan-on-Don suggested that Nalbandian himself should take up the issue of getting the money. In September 1861, he won a court in Calcutta, and the money was received.

With these funds, the "Nakhichevan church guardianship of poor Armenians" decided to build a hotel on the main street of Rostov-on-Don. The author of the project was the well-known architect Alexander Nikanorovich Pomerantsev, who before that had already built the house of merchant Gench-Ogluyev in Rostov on Don. Active participation in the construction was hosted by Nakhichevan and Rostov architect Nikolai Nikitich Durbach. The construction of the building began in 1893, and by 1896 the hotel was open. In total, on the construction of the hotel was spent more than 400 thousand rubles, which is significantly higher than the estimates. For this, criticism was repeatedly heard about "Nakhichevan church custody of poor Armenians," but representatives of the society answered that the costs should soon be paid off: the building was rented for 11 years by the Greek Kharlampy Vlados, who pledged to pay 34,000 rubles annually. However, soon after the opening of the hotel Kharlampy Vlados went bankrupt, and his property was auctioned. As a result, the trustees of the society suffered losses. But in spite of this hotel "Bolshaya Moskovskaya" soon became one of the most expensive and comfortable hotels of the city. The hotel had 60 rooms worth " from one ruble and more ". We rented a room in a building and various organizations, among them the banking house "Chahirov and K.", a music trade Brodsky, shop sewing machines Singer, pastry shop and coffee DI Filippov. During the Great Patriotic War, the hotel building was seriously damaged, but by 1960 it had been restored. By the middle of the 2000s, the hotel was closed, and some business offices were located in the building. June 1, 2007 there was a fire, after which the building ceased to be operated. By early 2013, the building was in poor condition. It is planned to reconstruct the building with increasing number of storeys. It is assumed that after the completion of the reconstruction of "Moscow" will be a five-star hotel.

Architecture The four-story building of the hotel is built in the spirit of Eclecticism. The symmetrical facade is divided vertically into five parts. In the central part was originally a large balcony-canopy that covered the entire width of the sidewalk at the main entrance (now lost). The third and fourth floors in the center of the facade are united by a portico with columns and pilasters of the Corinthian order. The facade ends with an attic with a pediment in the central part.

The first floor is finished with a rust. The size and shape of the windows vary depending on the floor: large showcases on the first floor, rectangular windows on the second and third floors, windows with semi-circular endings on the top floor. The design of window openings also differs: on the second floor there are small pediments, on the third floor - cornices in the center and pediments in the side parts of the facade, on the fourth - arched decoration.
