Apparently, these two buildings that nowadays both belong to the Yekaterinburg Academy of Architecture (founded in 1972) have been a kind of smithy of the future Arts (Cinema, Music) figures. The Academy has a partnership with the University of Huddersfield in student exchange. As for the small wooden building, I invite you to take a good look at the decorated window frames. Yekaterinburgs and its environs are full of houses like this one, offering a great chance to study the timberwork and wooden decorations of the past centuries.
