Kharkiv is a city of architectural contrasts, where huge apartment buildings can stand next to small houses, as if teleported from the village.
One of these contrasts can be seen at Rymars’ka Street, 20, where an apartment building, built for the noblewoman Druzhkova according to the design of architect Roytenberg in 1911, stands next to a small house (Rymars’ka Street, 18A), which was built approximately in the first half of the 19th century.
