House of Culture of Railway Workers

The building of the House of Culture of Railway Workers was built according to the standard project of the club with an auditorium for 400 seats by the authorship of Igor Sergeyevich Rozhin, People's Architect of the USSR, winner of the Lenin and State Prizes. He took part in the design of the Luzhniki district, the central Lenin Stadium and many metro stations in Moscow.

The House of Culture of Railway Workers was built in 1957 and is made in a restrained form of Stalinist neoclassicism. The main facade of the building presents to the viewer a modest pediment and a portico of square columns, but the rear part of the building appears before the viewer with a magnificent architectural composition, where a colonnade encircling a glazed bay window forms a semicircular balcony enclosed by a balustrade.

Rozhin and his contribution to the history of the creation of the House of Culture of Railway Workers in the capital of the Arctic.
