Section House of the Moscow district railway located at the address 42À Enthusiastov Highway was a monument of architecture in the east of Moscow.
In the beginning of January, 2012, in the course of building works on the Fourth transport ring the historical building was demolished. However, the builders point out that they have carried out legislation by having reconstructed the ancient barracks near to the demolished original building...
As Apartment.ru informs, activists of Arkhnadzor movement report that the historical complex is at the disposal of the railroad, and other buildings are also waiting for their turn to be reconstructed, and so the situation can repeat again.
The destroyed barracks, just like the complex of constructions of the Moscow district railway, were built in 1903-1908 under the project of architect A.N. Pomerantsev. It served as the housing for workers maintaining the railway tracks.
