About the street:
Ilyinka is one of the three main streets of Kitay-gorod, the central street of Bolshoy Posad. Like Ilyinka, the street has been known since the 16th century, when the Ilyinsky Monastery stood on it, which gave it its name (earlier it was called Dmitrievskaya, after the Dmitry Solunsky church that stood on the site of the Stock Exchange, known since 1472). In the 15th century, the street began directly from the Kremlin's Spassky Gate and ended at the modern Bolshoy Cherkassky Lane. On the night of May 17, 1606, an alarm signal from the cathedral church of the monastery gave a signal for an uprising, the victim of which fell False Dmitry I. The monastery was abolished after a fire in 1626, and the Church of Elijah the Prophet became a parish church (now house No. 3).
The street has never been purely residential; rather, its function is commercial and business. Trading yards and monasteries were located here. Until 1737, the most grandiose structure of Ilyinka was the complex of buildings of the Ambassadorial Court. The Ilyinka area was completely burned out in the fire of 1812. In the 19th century, farmsteads and philistine houses with shops and taverns were replaced by large banks.
After the revolution, the street was occupied by state institutions. In 1935, Ilyinka was renamed into Kuibyshev Street, the chairman of the State Planning Committee from 1930 to 1934, located on Birzhevaya Square. The former name was returned to the street in 1990.
The length of the street is now 550 m.
Ilyinka begins with the buildings of shopping malls designed by the architect A. Pomerantsev in the pseudo-Russian style.
On the right side, the building of the Old Gostiny Dvor, built in 1830 by the architect O. Bove, has been preserved.
Today on Ilyinka you can see buildings built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Art Nouveau style. These are former banks that became government institutions during the Soviet era. Among them a worthy place is occupied by the building of the Stock Exchange, designed by the architect A. Kaminsky in the neoclassical style.
A number of buildings and complexes built at the beginning of the twentieth century stretch along the street: Northern Insurance Society, architect I. Rerberg, Naydenov Bank
House of the Moscow merchant society 'Posolsky Dvor', reminiscent of the name of the Posolsky Dvor that existed here in the 17th century.
Ilyinka can become a wonderful open-air museum of Moscow architecture.
