The street is  1 km long, running west to east. It paralles Masherov Avenue and the Mukhavets River and lies between them both. That is a residential street along the riverside. I like the street most, as I ...... live here in the last high-rise on the left-hand side.

From this point, that is  in the middle of the street, the western part of the street is seen ahead:3 high-rise buildings  were constructed in the 1970s - 1990s, 14 stories high each, on the southern side.

The building on the right side underwent reconstruction in 2008. The walls of the 5-storied house was coated with thermoinsulation to keep it warm in winter.

Now it looks like this

January 2009

The previous names:

Russian period

 

Pivovarnaya ulitsa (Brewery street), as once there was a beer brewery here.

Szpitalna ulica (Hospital Street), as once there was a Jewish old hospital in the street.

Internatsionalnaya ulitsa (International Street),  as a tribute to the Soviet internationalism.

The street runs to the east from Lenin Street and the river port

The western part of the street

Venezia Cafe is associated with voyages, being close to the river port. A huge anchor in front adds the spirit of a voyage.

The old and new meet here

The view of the northern side, lined with prefabricated 5-storied buildings, in winter and in summer

All of a sudden 2 horsemen appeared in the morning. They said nothing...

... and went away.

To the left is the southern side of the street

Here 17th September Street meets the river.

 The cranes of the river port are seen on the northern riverbank at the end of the street. Father west is Brest Fortress, the Bug River and Poland

  The 3 high-rise buildings on the southern side of the street.
 

The view on the high-rises from the opposite riverbank

Here  Sov. Porgranichnikov Street meets Internatsionalnaya Street. The house at the corner attracts passers-by by its bright red red brick walls. It was built by the Jewish community in the late 19th century, to house a hospital

The house was renovated in 2002-2004. Today it is an office building.

Less than a dozen of old structures remained in the street.

The view in spring

when the trees are in blossoms

the spring bloom between high-rises. In the background the roof of the former redbrick hospital and the Intourist Hotel

The middle part of the street is intersected by 17th September Street and Sovietskaya Street, making up a big open space

The bus station is to the left and a mini market is to the right.

Old gardens in bloom amid a park between the river and the street. The old wooden cottages were pulled down some decades ago, however, the gardens remained reminding of the quite short street by the river.

The eastern part of the street

The eastern end of the street has a factory producing ice-cream (left) and blocks of flats (right)
