The route runs along Novokuznetskaya Street. Immediately on the left we see the 1st mansion of P.A. Bachurina - I.E. Smirnova (Novokuznetskaya St., 40). It was originally P.A.'s mansion.

Next (Novokuznetskaya street, 38) - 2. Intercession Cathedral - Cathedral Russian Ancient Orthodox Church. After the proclamation of the manifesto on religious tolerance in 1905, active construction of new Old Believer churches began, including in Moscow. In 1908, in Zamoskvorechye, with funds from F.E. Morozova, a plot of land was purchased, on which on October 12 a temple was founded for the local Old Believer community. The building project was created by the architect V. P. Desyatov. The church was consecrated on September 26, 1910.

This is an example of a type of semi-stone residential building common in Russian architecture. This brick, originally one-story house was built in the first half of the 19th century as an outbuilding on a large estate. In 1875, the architect K. A. Kozmin built a wooden floor over the stone outbuilding for the new owner of the estate, merchant, hereditary honorary citizen Timofey Terentyevich Volkov.

The count immediately began rebuilding the house, for which he invited the architect Gustav Avgustovich Gelrich. He changed both the decoration of the facade and the layout of the building, introducing neoclassical features into the eclectic decoration of the building.

This is just one small part of all beautiful places, which tram 39 passes noisily and slowly. We will not reveal all the secrets of the route. We can only say that such a trip should definitely be in your plans. You can just ride alone in search of inspiration, or with a noisy group, admiring the beauty of Moscow together and singing along with Irina Bogushevskaya:

"The Thirty-ninth Ark,
Rented to couples in love.
And the run continues,
Through the skies and boulevards.
Meal of the spirit, thrill of the flesh -
The thirty-ninth weaves and fastens
Threads of paths, flying at full speed,
Without resting in the depot!”

Have a nice trip!
