Photo and description

The two-storey building, built in 1874 at the intersection of Tsaritsynskaya (now Pervomayskaya) and Aleksandrovskaya streets (now M. Gorky street), belonged to the merchant E.I. Reinek until the beginning of the 1880s.

Emmanuel Ivanovich Borel - the son of a prisoner of war in the French army who remained in Russia, the head of a large family and founder of the Emmanuel Borel flour mill (1848), bought from E.I. Reineck building, reconstructed and completed another floor. As the owner's income grew, the front side of the building was finished with glazed bricks, and a little later a beautiful bas-relief appeared around the windows. The name also appeared at the building - Borel Trading House.

At the end of the 1880s, Emmanuil Ivanovich, having accumulated sufficient capital, began to transfer his business to an enterprising son - Ivan Borel (in his mansion there is now the Wedding Palace). In addition to the milling business, Emmanuil Ivanovich's Trading House had a small shipping company, which consisted of barges, tugs and one scow. The tugboat Borel, built in 1905 under the modest name "Vanya", subsequently had a battle destiny.

Part of the building of the Trading House was leased to the reputable firm “A. Erlanger and Co. ", which is engaged in the supply of agricultural equipment and materials, bringing the Borels considerable income. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Northern Bank moved into the building of the Trading House, providing homeowners with a constant income.

Now the building houses one of the buildings of the Saratov State Academy of Law. The building has its original appearance and is an architectural monument.
