Architecture
A modern in style house, in the premises of which the Khmelnytskyi children's music school No. 1 named after Mykola Mozhovyi is located at the beginning of Proskurivska street. In 1910, it housed one of the first Proskuriv cinemas (illusion) called the Modern, which was also the best illusion of the city. Before the start of the show, the entertainer announced the name of the picture and made a small description of it. Orchestral music sounded during the demonstration of the film. The beginning of 20th century in the architectural life of the city was marked by the appearance of buildings in the neoclassical style. Its features can be seen on the facade of the Modern cinema. The lobby of the cinema was spacious and stood out with its style. Huge mirrors and a French tapestry were on its walls. The floor was made of ceramic colored tiles. The cinema had a velum and red velvet curtains. The entrance doors of the cinema, which as well adorn the house in the 21st century, are decorated with climbing plants, made using the technique of artistic carving. With the onset of dusk, the cinema in Proskuriv began to shine due to the electric lamps. In fact, on the site of Modern there are not one, but two buildings. The second building is called the House with Dragons from an unusual architectural decoration. Therefore, passing by the music school, take a closer look at its roof - perhaps you will be able to spy on the secret life of Khmelnytskyi dragons!
