Bolshoy Kozichinskiy pereulok














This building is called as a "House with a lynx". It was constructed in 1902 by the architect G.N. Ivanov in exaggerated Modern Style. According to other sources, these animals are fuffing cats with hogbacks. Moreover, there are other uncreditable creatures on the facade: foxes, chimeras, young girls' heads and the goodness Nike with a star. But the most amazing thing is that this bass-relief  represents "the caught moment of movement".
