Tsaritsyno-Dachnoye Railway Station

Фото 1
The original station building was typical for 4th class stations: wooden, single-story with a mezzanine where the station master lived. A water supply was laid to the Lower Pond to provide water for the locomotives, and a water pumping machine was installed. In 1908, a new station was built in the Art Nouveau style, designed by V.K. Filippov, which included two passenger halls, a buffet, and a post office.

In the early 20th century, the station was used daily by 200 first and second class passengers and 900 third class passengers, with numbers increasing to several thousand on holidays.

Since the construction of the Kursk railway, the area around the station was actively developed with summer cottages. There were up to 1000 cottages in the nearby settlements, and in summer, up to 15,000 summer residents lived there. This circumstance influenced the station's name, and on January 1, 1904, it was renamed "Tsaritsyno-Dachnoye." This name remained until 1960 when the station and surrounding settlements were incorporated into Moscow, and it was returned to its original name, "Tsaritsyno."

A complete restoration of the station, recognized as a cultural heritage monument, was carried out in 1998. In 2007, the building's facade was painted in beige tones to highlight the ancient brickwork, suggesting that this was how the station looked over a hundred years ago. A photograph from around 1910 shows that the building was made of red brick with white trim. A major renovation of the passenger platforms was also conducted: asphalt was replaced with gray and red paving stones, which are associated with the colors of the Tsaritsyno ensemble.
