Do you know how city dwellers lived in tenement apartments, what the grand staircases and iceboxes concealed, and what everyday life was like in the heart of Russia's old cities? This book is your ticket to a fascinating journey through true "museums under a roof," where history comes to life in every interior!

The author, Nelly De—an architect, restorer, and art historian—invites you on a captivating journey through the legendary tenement buildings of famous people, from Gorky to Akhmatova. You'll discover the hidden secrets of the grand and back staircases, why antique windows are warmer than plastic ones, and how the household appliances of the era—from iceboxes to laundries—were cleverly organized. This book will be a true treasure for lovers of architecture, history, and interior design.

You'll learn:
- How to distinguish genuine authentic stucco molding from imitation?
- Why preserve the original details of an old apartment, and how does this affect its value and atmosphere? Why do vintage materials and technologies last longer than modern ones, and how can you utilize their advantages in your interior today?

How can you transform your apartment into a true treasure and preserve its uniqueness for future generations?
