This section will periodically
feature buildings of a common location or design type. This
month, it features several prominent buildings in Moscow.
The Gothic design of the Ukraine Hotel is also apparent in
the Moscow University, and several buildings of varied uses
around the former eastern block. GUM, or State Universal
Store, dates back to around the turn of the 20th century,
and was the model for several modern shopping malls
constructed in the 1970's and 1980's. The church in the
Kremlin is one of many inside the palace walls. The Kremlin
is a must see for anyone stopping over in
Moscow.
