Are there monuments, smile? Saratov is one of the few cities that can boast of such a heritage. Located Saratov pride on Moskovskaya street opposite the post office.

In 1887 in the Central part of the city by the owners of mirror factory p. P. Borisov-Morozov and N. And.Sedov was built factory building. But in 1913 the factory mirrors and facets, letting in a huge selection (as mentioned in their advertising) mirrors of various sizes, unexpectedly announces its insolvency. Strangely ruined merchants after the sale of the property went abroad.

In 1914, the factory building located car garage, the owner of which was S. I. Sokolov and his friend-a motorist with commercial abilities Z. I. Ivanov. In 1915 during the first world war was declared automotive service and, after his transport, was mobilized to the front and Sokolov himself. Accumulated over a small period of time the capital was given for the reconstruction of the garage and sculptural decoration of the facade of the building.

The idea of technological progress embodied in the life of a student Bogolyubov art school N. Khlestov and S. Reztsova. The work of young artists was so witty and original source of the idea may prove to be only one place – Tsarskoye Selo, the Imperial facade of the garage. The triangular top of the facade, played on the slope of the pavement, rushing with the speed of a car, escaping one wheel of the plane of the wall, clouds of fumes and dust, blinding beams of the headlights, all of this could only come up with a big fan of fast driving Z. I. Ivanov. Do not forget the sculptors and the God of trade mercury hovering over the machine, and merry angels on the projections of the facade.

The upper part of the facade of the house remained untouched by time, the front part (exit vehicles) can be traced in the clamped horizontal rail, the Windows of the building.
