Kartamyshevska Street () is a street in the historical district of Moldavanka in Odesa, Ukraine. Residents of Odesa refer to the street as Kartamyshevska, omitting the word "street". It is in postal code 65091.
Formation and name
The former Turkish fortress of Hadjibey and its surrounding settlements was renamed Odesa, and officially became a town in 1798. Settlers from elsewhere in Ukraine and Russia began to arrive in the new town and its adjacent settlements, Moldavanka and Peresyp.
Kartamyshev was a noble family name in the Russian Empire which originated in the 17th century. In 1802, Ivan Kartamyshev and his family (including his son Bonifatiy Ivanovich Kartamyshev, born in 1790) moved from Kharkiv to Moldavanka. The Kartamyshev family established a large farm, and their farmhouse was near the beginning of the area between today's Srednyaya and Komityetskaya Streets.
After 1814, Moldavanka was mentioned as a suburb of Odesa. On 7 May 1823, Graf Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov was appointed governor-general of New Russia (as the southern provinces of the empire were then called) and namestnik of Bessarabia. The capital and largest city was Odesa. Bonifatiy Ivanovich Kartamyshev was appointed the ratmann and commissioner of Moldavanka by Vorontsov. Kartamyshev, a silk and paper merchant, also owned bookshops in the area.
The three-block street was first drawn on Odesa's General Plan in 1835, although the streets were not named. Present-day Kartamyshevska Street is two blocks long.
Early history (1835–1939)
1836–1850
Kartomyshevska Street was first mentioned in 1836. The first known architect of buildings on the street was N. N. Cherkunov, who built three houses between 1847 and 1850: Present-day Holovkovska Street, 1 (at the corner of Kartamyshevska and Holovkovska Streets). The 1847 house, with a shed roof, was rebuilt in the mid-1950s with a flat roof. Its walls were lined with tile during the 1970s. An 1848 house (now demolished) built for S. Brinzi at Kartanyshevska, 34 An 1850 house (also demolished) built for Ye. Savenko at Kartanyshevska, 36
1851–1889
Until 1870, Karamyshevska Street was primarily residential. During the second half of the 19th century, the street gradually took on an industrial character.
In the early 1870s, a windmill at the corner of Komityetska and Kartamyshevska Streets (on the even-numbered side of Kartamyshevska Street) was replaced by a steam mill owned by Turkish consul Rafail Hawa. Hawa also established a small glassworks for the production of bottles and similar vessels on the street. The glassworks was sold to a hat manufacturer named Delpech in 1875. At the turn of the 20th century, two small glassworks (one owned by Wilhelm Sanzenbacher) existed on the street.
1890–1903
On behalf of Ivan Solyanikov, Vassily Lobanov petitioned for the construction of a two-storey stone house at the corner of Karamyshevska and Kosvennaya Streets (Kartamyshevskaya Street, 11 and Kosvennaya Street, 76) in 1893; the plan was approved on 16 August of that year. The house's architect was named Ottone. In 1898, the property belonged to A. F. Solyannikova. Kartomyshevska Street was first named on the city map in 1894. A petroleum factory owned by a man named Lang existed on the street in the late 19th century, and a mining engineer named Yushkin was summoned from Grozny to work there.
In 1898, two parcels were on the block between Kertamyshevska and Kosvyennaya Streets: Karamyshevskaya, 10, from the corner to the present-day boundary between houses on Kartamyshevskaya street 12 and 14 (including Kartamyshevskaya, 14), owned by M. Posokhov Karamyshevskaya, 8, from the corner of Kosvyennaya and Kartamyshevskaya Streets to the present-day boundary between Kartamyshevskaya 12 and 14, owned by H. Wolf and others
The numbering of the even-numbered side of Kartamyshevskaya Street was changed in 1902 and 1903.
