Khrushchyovka, Sirgala. Estonia

Sirgala was built along the traditional style of the times, cheap as chips to chuck up, constructed of concrete panels and brickwork. Nothing flash or fancy. given the slang name of Khrushchoba.

Functional

Sirgala during construction, copyright unkown

but they were built to last!!

Don't give up

Seek and ye shall find

Up and down stairs when a block is empty there is a lot to see

These ceiling lamps would look good in any modern house, pretty much like the concrete block they are in.... built to last, it never ceases to amaze me how certain things survive.

Even washing on the line!!
