There is a Gostiny Dvor in almost every city in Russia. And Penza is no exception. The Gostiny Dvor building in Penza looks very beautiful. It was remodeled several times, survived two difficult wars, and the facade was not damaged at all. The building is located in the very center and is one of the oldest in the city
Location
Gostiny Dvor is located at st. Moskovskaya, 91. It is the central pedestrian street of the city, there are many banks, offices and shops. The central Penza market is located within walking distance from the shopping and business complex.
From history
Today the Gostiny Dvor building in Penza is a shopping complex. However, this was not always the case. The building was built in the 1860s and has a very rich history. Initially, the house belonged to the merchant and vowel of the Penza City Duma Fyodor Ivanovich Ershov. In 1890, the building was acquired by Alexander Afanasyevich Yakushev, it was he who added the third floor to the building. So the estate turned into the Rossiya Hotel, which was considered elite in the city. The local rooms were richly and tastefully furnished, not everyone could afford to stay here.
Soon allhas changed. Yakushev Sr. died, and his sons Viktor and Konstantin Yakushev in October 1910 opened the Edison cinema in the house, which showed silent films. Later, during the First World War, the building housed an evacuation center.
In April 1918, the political club "Internationale" worked in the future "Gostiny Dvor" of Penza. Part of the building was occupied by the Penza City Committee of the Bolshevik Party. The house was later turned into a hostel.
During the Second World War, the evacuation center and the infectious diseases hospital were again located here. When the war was over, the building was redecorated. It again became multi-apartment, apartments were rented out by a veteran of the party, the revolutionary movement and the civil war. There was a restaurant on the ground floor.
Only in 1998 the building turned into a shopping mall.
Shops of the complex
There are several shops in Penza's Gostiny Dvor: Zephyr confectionery, Karavan grocery chain store, Marko, Tofa and Ka Shoe Gallery shoe stores, as well as the Familia store of various goods. It also houses the Bierhaus restaurant and Yogurt Hall, a developmental studio for adults and children.
