rolls, we have in the city center is Strukovsky garden.
Strukovsky garden (park) (formerly the Park of Culture and Rest Gorky) is located on the bank of Samara and represents the perfect place to relax in the city center.
Once it was a forest on the outskirts of the city. He belonged to the manager Ileck salt production GN Strukova, who built a mansion, laid out a garden. Since 1828 the board crafts relocated to Salt-Ileck. Garden on the banks of the Volga gradually fell into complete neglect. In 1854, he was seized for back taxes of the owner and put up for auction. The new owner became lieutenant DE Obukhov, who, however, immediately expressed his desire to give up its urban societies. Later, the town trudged several sites adjacent land, demolished the cottage with outbuildings, separating the garden from the Volga, and its area became more than seven hectares.
At the insistence of the governor KK Groth, a fan of gardening, garden Strukovsky handed over to officials of the Ministry of State Property, SS Loshkareva, "... who did not spare their labors for the common good." A garden filled with flowers, it appeared a fountain, a broad staircase for easy descent from the mountain. But landlords have changed the garden, the operating revenues were insignificant, and public places are increasingly falling into decay. In 1871 the Samara City Duma decided to discontinue the services of landlords and completely take care of the garden itself. Identified 1800 rubles, chose the garden committee, which included prominent gardening enthusiasts PV Alabin, IL Sanin, EN Annayev.
The garden was filled with lots of stores - smoking room, bowling alley, shopping pavilions, summer stage, cinema "bioscope" Since 1890, Strukovsky garden was lighted by gas lamps. Illuminating gas is Filippovich Alfred von Wakano owner Zhigulevskogo brewery. And after nine years of his factory began to give energy and electric lighting of the garden. (c)
