THE SPIRITUAL CONSISTORY IN VLADIVOSTOK: ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS AND IMPLEMENTATION

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №1 (73) March, 2021

The article is devoted to the history of the architecture of pre-revolutionary Vladivostok and, in particular, its ecclesiastical consistory, the administrative office of the diocese. The publication is largely based on archival material from the Russian State Historical Archive. Specifically, it considers two unrealized designs for the consistory dating back to 1899 and 1910, including the spatial planning of the buildings as appearing in the available drawings and the stylistic treatment proposed by the architects for the Spiritual Department. Correlation is established between the composition of the 1910 design and the 1912 actual building. The scientific novelty of this contribution consists in the discovery and analysis of previously unknown drawings relating to Vladivostok’s ecclesiastical consistory and the episcopal office and of facts about the professional activities of the military engineer I.V. Meshkov, civil engineer I. S. Baginov and architect-engineer G. R. Junghändel.
The article seeks to familiarize the scientific community with the archival drawings and architectural history of the Spiritual Consistory and elucidate the involvement of well-known Vladivostok architects in its design and construction, thus contributing to the historical information about the architectural heritage of Vladivostok.
