Residential building on Samad Vurgun street

Architect Nicholas August Ernst Von der Nonne

One of the monumental buildings of the city of Baku is located on the corner of Samed Vurgun (former Krasnovodskaya) Street and Zarifa Aliyeva (former Merkurievskaya) Street. The building, built in 1887, faced the former Petrovsky Square, which now does not exist, and in its place the Museum Center was built in the middle of the XX century. The author of the project is the German architect Nikolai August Von der Nonne (16.06.1835 – 13.08.1908).
