Severny District, Moscow / A Walk in the USSR
Severny is a settlement that became part of Moscow. Built in the 1950s in the Stalinist neoclassical architectural style around the Northern Water Supply Station, it became the foundation of the modern Moscow district of Severny.
The decision to build the station was made in 1939, but construction did not begin until World War II. The station was commissioned in 1952, marking the official founding and name of the settlement of Severny.
The settlement is composed of two-story residential buildings, each with four apartments. The houses in the settlement generally fall into one of two styles: those with a gable and rounded ground-floor windows, or those in a more formal style with less decoration. The two styles of buildings alternate, preventing monotony. The settlement has nine street lines, named the 1st through 9th Northern Lines. The village's central axis is formed by the 3rd Northern Line, which runs from the community center to the central water station.
