The Narcomzem building (People's Commissariat of Agriculture) on Zarafshan Street (former names — Irjar, Kirov, Ataturk) was built in 1928 in the constructivist style. Architects — A. Petelin, N. Bleze, and K. Babievsky.
Old photographs show that in the 1930s–1940s,
there were fabric awnings over the windows, known as “marquises.”
Over the years, the building housed the House of
Trusts, the Association House (Cottoncom), the Supreme Council of National
Economy (VSNKh), the editorial office of the newspaper “Vecherniy Tashkent,”
the Agricultural Institute, the “Demir” supermarket, and the “Orzu” shopping
center.
Currently, the building is fenced off. A project
for three high-rise buildings on this site has been published online, but the
fact of construction has not been confirmed.
