Object description

The drawing shows the side facade of a large brick church for the town of Turka, Lviv oblast, which was never built. This drawing was made in 1927, while the others were made in 1934. The building is based on a square plan with a semicircular apse and eight columns supporting a large central dome in the interior. At the corners of the building are four more towers crowned with bell-shaped domes. On three sides of the building, between the towers, there are arcade porches with low columns. There are two versions of the building, which differ in decoration, including the decoration of the domes (Lev Kh., Slobodian V., Filevych N. 100 Churches of the Nahirnyi family. Part Two: Churches of Yevhen Nahirnyi. Lviv, 2015. P. 128).

Inscriptions

There is a pencil mark in the upper left corner: "59/141" and "Turka". In the lower right corner is a pencil inscription: "Lviv 21.VII.1927 Engineer / signature / Yevhen Nahirnyi". On the back is a pencil inscription: "1500 souls around 150,000 m".
