Kuznetsky Most

The picture shows the Kuznetskiy Most a street in Moscow, shortly before the outbreak of the first Worldwar. It actually was home to poor blacksmiths, this is where the name Kuznetskiy Most (literally, Blacksmiths Bridge) comes from. From 1754-57, a stone bridge was constructed over the Neglinnaya River. Later the river was filled in and built over. Kuznetskiy Most is a good example of old central Moscow, filled with its hectic and busy streets and courtyards with late 19th-century eclectic architecture. Moscow. Photograph. July, 1914
