In winter when there are no leaves on the trees the houses look modest.

The house at the south-western corner of the street and Svobody Square saw both World Wars

The house opposite at the south-eastern corner of the street and Budyonny Str. near Svobody Square underwent renovation in 2009. To the left, Svobody Square is seen.

The bath-house on the western side between Budyonny Str. and Dzerzhynsky Str. is the best meeting place for the lovers of the Russian steam house. The word "laznya" means bath-house in Byelorussian.
