Restoration of Historic Doors in Odesa
«Restoration of Historic Doors in Odesa» has revitalized the entrance doors of a building located at the intersection of Ukrainian Heroes Avenue and Jewish Street.
This was announced by the organization «Restoration of Odesa Doors».
The building at 48 Jewish Street was constructed in 1893 based on the design by 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 state.
Thus, «Restoration of Odesa Doors» recreated the missing wooden decorative elements, restored the wrought iron grilles, and re-created the lost transom board. They restored the symmetry and proportions of the doors, as well as the authentic bolts and handles. To protect the lower part of the doors, brass plates were installed to shield the wood from moisture and mechanical damage.
