Last
century's Fire Department Tower and my friend - Vova Ivanovskii
Two XVII century buildings have barely
survived soviet times. The first is a building of former Court Ballet School. The second
is a city archive. Communists have almost blew it up expanding the Lenin's Square. But
few activists have saved it. Now it is named after one of Hrodna Majors that have
developed city in XVII c - a Tyzenhaus square.
