                                              TRADING HOUSE GADALOVA
It was built by the main house of the estate of I. G. Gadalov, a merchant of I Guild, founder of a great commercial and industrial dynasties, Counsellor. The author of the initial project of the city architect Lossowski A., contractor, tradesman Zamotaev.
The largest stone private home, opening a new stage in the architecture of residential buildings of Krasnoyarsk the late 1880's, became the home of commercial and residential destination on the estate of the merchant Nikolay Gerasimovich Gadalova. Its household covered the entire centre of Krasnoyarsk at the time, including the main street – the resurrection (later the Soviet, now Prospekt Mira). By the beginning of 1880-x years instead of the wooden one was built a large two-story stone house.
It was unusual for Krasnoyarsk the wealth of their "Renaissance" forms, dynamic plasticity of the facades, time to turn attention to the beautiful semicircular angular volume of the main entrance, surmounted by a dome with a spire and decorated with an openwork pattern of metal fence semi-circular balcony. The architectural image of the building, more typical of zapadnoevropeiskie works of art of those years, suggests participation in its design the architect's qualifications.
The possible author of the project called V. A. Schreter, one of the consistent adherents of the "Renaissance" in Russian architecture of the second half of the XIX century. The influence of the creative techniques this architect can be traced in the comparison of some compositional and decorative elements used in forms Gadalova at home in one of the most well-known "Siberian" works of the architect of the theatre in Irkutsk (1894-1897). About the architectural "links" in the capitals of the merchant family Hatalowich are confirmed in documentary sources reporting further construction activities of merchants in Krasnoyarsk.
