In 1933, the Council of People's Commissars of the Uzbek SSR decided to build Uzbekistan's third hydroelectric power station — the Burjar HPP. A residential building was constructed for the builders and power engineers near Beshagach Square, on Alley Street (now Furkat 7th Dead End).
According to the recollections of old residents,
the building was designed by Leningrad architects, which is why it has window
projections to increase apartment lighting — suitable for cloudy Leningrad but
entirely inappropriate for sunny Tashkent.
The construction date — 1935 — is laid out in
bricks on the building.
The beautiful, unique building for Tashkent is a
favorite object during excursions and walks for Tashkent residents.
