Description of the attraction
The building of the pharmacy at the corner of Sacco and Vanzetti (formerly Kostrizhnaya) and Chapaeva (formerly Ilyinskaya) streets was built in 1898-1899.. The architect and author of the project of the mansion in the style of “brick eclecticism” with elements of classicism is Yu. N. Terlikov. The two-story L-shaped brick building belonged to one of the pharmacists' brothers - Alexander Georgievich Fridolin, titular adviser and master of pharmacy. For the owner of the house, the building had several purposes: a living room on the second floor, a pharmacy with a front entrance on the first floor, and storage rooms in the semi-basement of the house.
A pharmacy with a corner bay window (above the front entrance, level of the second floor) compositionally decorates the corner of the quarter, and the dome, covered with black scales of roofing tin, has long been a landmark in Saratov under construction at the end of the nineteenth century. Facades of the building overlooking the street. Chapaeva and Sacco and Vanzetti, are identical, have two side projections, passing at the level of the second floor into four-column Ionic porticoes with three windows. Another feature that makes the pharmacy stand out: stucco molding with a medical emblem - a bowl entwined with a snake - emphasizing the function of the building.
In our time, the building has not lost its functional significance and at the end of the architectural monument, like a hundred years ago, there is a pharmacy, and the second floor is occupied by the city health department. The building of the pharmacy has been preserved in its original form and is an architectural monument. Located in the very center of Saratov, opposite the building of the Covered Market.
