Restoration of Historic Doors in Odessa
The project «Restoration of Historic Doors» has successfully completed the restoration of the doors at the corner of Ukrainian Heroes Avenue and Jewish Street.
This information was provided by the project representatives.
The building at 48 Jewish Street was constructed in 1893 based on the design of architect A. D. Todorov and was remodeled in 1900-1901 by architects Yu. M. Dmytrenko and V. A. Koropovskyi for the needs of the Protection Church. It housed the apartments of the church priest and a parish school.
The doors of the building were in a deplorable condition.
Specialists from the «Restoration of Historic Doors» project reproduced missing wooden decorative elements, restored wrought iron grilles, and recreated the lost threshold board. They reinstated the symmetry and proportions of the doors, along with authentic bolts and handles. To protect the lower parts of the doors, brass plates were installed to shield the wood from moisture and mechanical damage.
