Old house where lived Morgilevsky

On one of the oldest streets of Kyiv, Voznesenskiy Descent, there is by miracle survived an old wooden house decorated with wooden carvings.nThe authorities wanted to demolish it in the 80s, but the house was saved by the fact that the scientist Ippolit Morgilevsky once lived in it. The paradox is that the scientist devoted his whole life to research and rescue the architecture of Kievan Rus. Wooden carvings embelish the roof of a two-story building. The decorative decoration of the facade of the building in a tree was performed by carpenters from Russia in the early twentieth century.n
