Abstract

The Omsk region has played a major role in the development of Siberia. The article examines the region’s architectural heritage in its historical context, beginning with the small town of Tara, founded at the end of the sixteenth century. The main part of the article focuses on the prerevolutionary architecture of Omsk from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. The analysis includes churches, houses, commercial and civic buildings. The architectural styles range from Neoclassicism and Eclecticism to the style moderne and the Neoclassical Revival. The opening of the Trans-Siberian Railroad led to a construction boom with major commercial buildings resembling those of St. Petersburg
