So, if you read my last post you read about the Door to Nowhere – in Winchester House and here in Dnepropetrovsk.\u00a0 We pass this house every morning and usually every evening.\u00a0 A few weeks ago we noticed they were cleaning up the area under the door and putting in boards that looked to be preparing for concrete being poured.\u00a0 Sure enough in time there was concrete poured and then it sat and sat and we wondered why they had poured concrete and what they were planning.\u00a0 Renovations perhaps – another entrance to the apartment perhaps.\u00a0 Then last week one day they started building with concrete blocks.\u00a0 So here is the door originally.<\/p>\n

Then the new construction:<\/p>\n

Building outside the door to nowhere!<\/p><\/div>\n

Yesterday afternoon we did not go home our normal way.\u00a0 We went out to eat with another senior couple who were visiting here (Historians from the Kyiv Mission – Elder and Sister Humpherys)\u00a0 and came home a different way.\u00a0 As we walked past the house on our way to work this morning we were surprised that the construction (which had been completed up above the door and was enclosed so we had no idea what it was for) was GONE!\u00a0 The only sign that it had ever been there were some marks on the walls.<\/p>\n

Later I was reading the local news and found this article with accompanying photos.<\/p>\n

First, here is the article:<\/p>\n

“In the Dnieper bulldozer “saved” the last wooden house in the city.<\/p>\n

“On June 5, an illegal annex was demolished, adjacent to the only wooden house in the city, which is located on Krutogornaya Street.<\/p>\n

“This is reported by the press service of the City Council of the Dnieper.<\/p>\n

“The wooden house was built in the end of the XIX century and is a historical monument.<\/p>\n

“In the hands of the residents there, and there can not be permits for an extension. They showed us only a technical report on the condition of the load-bearing structures of the house. Therefore, we decided to dismantle this structure. They have no options: the house is an architectural monument. For completion, you need to get a lot of documents. And the residents can not decide for themselves that a toilet made of aerated concrete will be built near the house, “said Mikhail Lysenko, deputy mayor of the Dnieper.<\/p>\n

“Illegal completion was made by the owners of the apartment, who bought housing in December 2017. In it they wanted to place a toilet. According to the owner of the apartment Anna Nikolaevna, they decided that they can build, because there is an extension on the plan. However, according to Mikhail Lysenko, this is not enough and for construction it is necessary to have permission from the State Architectural Construction Inspection.”<\/p>\n

Historical?\u00a0 Wow, that was interesting to read about.\u00a0 So here are the photos that accompanied the article:<\/p>\n

Demolition – 01<\/p><\/div>\n

Demolition – 02<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Demolition – 03<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Demolition – 04<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Demolition – 05<\/p><\/div>\n

So that is the rest of the story.\u00a0 Imagine they were adding an “outside” toilet!\u00a0 There is always something exciting.\u00a0 The bad news is we might have seen it happening had we walked home our usual way.\u00a0 The good news is after our shock at seeing the house this morning we were able to learn about what happened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
