Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №2 (50) June, 2015

The article provides a brief historical overview of the context in which the city of Vologda has been developing, including the construction or ordinary buildings and of unique projects of civil and cult architecture. This has resulted in the unique image of Vologda, an old Russian city. An outstanding example of stone cult architecture in Vologda is the winter church of the Epiphany in the Georgievsky diocese. Historical and restoration studies of this cathedral have been carried out. A cleared patch of the wall above the window revealed the original treatment of the window trim, which confirms the early dating of the cathedral. The comprehensive examinations suggest that this monument should be recommended to be registered by the heritage preservation agencies as a unique example of early parish churches built in stone and restored for the purpose of further conservation.
