Залізничний вокзал Кременчук 1960-ті роки листівка 2574

The railway station building was destroyed in 1943. After the Second World War, the station building was one of the first in the city to be restored. The architects of the station are Yevhen Lymar and Petro Areshkin. Volunteers worked on the ruins of the city and pulled out more than 1 million bricks. Almost the entire adult population of the city gathered on weekends and Sundays. Wood products were made by the woodworking plant, heating devices by the “Kredmash” plant, glue, oil, and lime by leather plant No. 13, and fittings, paint, and pressed plywood by the Carriage Building Plant. The Ministry of Automobile provided the missing materials for the roof. By the end of 1945, the stone works were mostly completed. On November 6, 1946, the grand opening of the station building took place. It repeated the plan and dimensions of the pre-war building, but the decoration of the facades and the internal layout were significantly changed.
