The buildings, designed by Andrew Kryachkov, greatly influenced the image of Novosibirsk. A.D. Kryachkov designed and built over 30 public buildings. Twenty-two works of exceptional beauty and significant technical and architectural performance received all-union and international recognition. Commercial buildings, schools, banks, residential and public buildings were built by the Siberian architect between 1912 and 1950 Kryachkov successfully worked in all architectural styles, which were often changing in the first half of the 20 century. Every building is an example of its time: pre-revolutionary schools and the City Trade Building (nowadays the Novosibirsk State Local History Museum) in Art Nouveau style (1910-1912), avant-garde administration buildings of the Soviet era (1925-1935), currently the Novosibirsk State Art Museum, and the government building of the Novosibirskaya Oblast and others. The most famous creation of the architect is the so called “The100-flat Building”, a project that won a Gold Medal at the International Exposition of Art and Technology in Modern Life in Paris (1937). It is no coincidence that the Monument to architect A.D. Kryachkov is situated near the facade.
