A facade is dismembered by horizontal tractions, dividing functionally different parts of the building.

Former profitable house of Selivanov on Pushkin street, 19 - one of first-ever and decorated from all, built by А.М. Ginsburg at the beginning of the century. House-fairy-tale, bylina, "cake house", with a surface, cut up by difficult, whimsical lines and details and strewed " by natural" colours.

Sharply asymmetric by volume of-spatial composition of small 1-2-storeyed building expresses exactly his functional diagram on principle of "изнутри-наружу". Curvilinear outlines cornices and turret complete picturesqueness and give some inscrutability the mansion harboured after a fence.

Moreover, their walls are cut through by vertical cracks - quite from a structural modern!
