Abstract

This article examines the architectural form of Khabarovsk’s first railway station constructed in the late nineteenth century. It explores the station’s design and construction process, emphasizing its distinctive architectural features. Various design proposals are reviewed, including previously unpublished sketches and drawings that shed new light on the adopted architectural solution. The study is based on a critical analysis of historical documents and an assessment of visual materials—specifically photographs and drawings—from that period. Particular attention is also given to the draft designs for the station’s original wooden structure.
