Hristaki, this is full-blooded late 19th century Sofia, the way it really unfolded before the photo camera, crawling with peasants from the capital surroundings, genuine and romantic. Bulgaria had cast off the Turk like a decade ago. The progress we were making at that time made a deep impression on foreign observers. A young nation eager to catch up with the rest and even take them over.

It's not late 19th century. It's early 20th century. Around 1910. Many of the pictures are from the days of the proclamation of Bulgarian independence in 1908.

Indeed, my mistake. The whole album can be viewed at: http://www.geh.org/ar/chus/bulgaria/..._sld00001.html

To tell you the truth, I am not too eager to sign the petition.

1) The house itself does not hold much of an architectural value
2) The owner/investor in the future "Shipka Residence" has made a pretty good job in previous historical constructions.

The owner/investor Bulgarian Construction House has had 3 such historical properties.

1) Oborishte House - Great job and they made sure to keep the original facade of the building

2) Oborishte Residence - Even though the original house had to be destroyed, the investors made sure to reconstruct its facade to the best of their ability and from my perspective the whole project looks pretty good. Also the house itself did not hold much of an architectural value.





3) The future Shipka Residence - Except for the front facade with the figure and the arches, the rest of the building is not that significant in architectural terms. Here is what it is supposed to look like.

Господи, ужасно е! Наистина трябва да се направи нещо, за да се спаси сградата. И много, много жалко за Oborishte Residence, модерната част изглежда добре, но бутафорно вписаната "стара" къща ... просто не се прави така. А старата сграда е изглеждала наистина много добре и се е пасвала много добре с цялостната атмосфера на улица "Оборище". Тук (Германия) никой не смее да пипне такова архитектурно наследство, правено е 60-те основно и после е преценено като огромна грешка. Първият им проект е много добър (Oborishte House), но на мен ми изглежда като реставрация.

Всъщност сградите на Оборище на живо изглеждат изключително добре. Днес дори минавайки оттам си мислех, колко ми харесват.

А сега видях и къщата за която е подписката..Смешното е, че точно днес нея я забелязах за първи път и си помислих колко по-добре би изглеждала ремонтирана.

Оборище хауз е реставрация. Самата конструкция не е пипана (май с изключение на покрива). Имам едно списание от преди няколко години, където подробно се обяснява процеса на обновяване. А Оборище резидънс е хубава като сграда, но не се вписва в контекста на улица Оборище, да не говорим, че самата "вградена" къща е пълна бутафория - липсата на големия купол, балконите и пр. елементи практически означават унищожаване на оригиналната постройка.

Оборище Хаус частен дом ли е или ще е хотел?

Well, those buildings were replaced exactly by the government back then, because they were not big and functional enough any more. The new buildings were constructed according to the contemporary standards of the time. I don't think anyone should spend money on turning back time, no matter how much I like the original buildings.

+1 Besides the buildings of the new post office and the new ministry of defence(not much different than the old ministry of war one) are quite good.
