Alexandrovskiye Trade Rows

Alexandrovskiye Trade Rows (Russian: Александровские торговые ряды) in Taganrog is a piece of architecture of the 19th century.

The continuous line of stairs of the gallery, as well as the massive entablature crowning the edifice, emphasized the integrity of the entire ensemble.

Since some of the stalls were empty, the trade activities were concentrated in the right part of the rows, the rest was sold for lodging (the left side of Chekhov street, No 107–119).

In 1911 the integrity of the right gallery was damaged by the construction of the two-storey building housing a leather goods shop (Chekhov street, 98).

In 1921 just over the former Pavel Chekhov’s stall, the sculpture group was installed; it symbolized the union of workers and peasants (sculpted by Navratil from Czechoslovakia).
