Contracts House

The front façade of the Contracts House featured four Doric order columns, topped off with a triangular-shaped roof.

The Contracts House (Ukrainian: Контрактовий будинок) is a trade building in the Podil neighborhood of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. The Contracts House received its name because the city's contracts were signed there.[1] It is located on the Kontraktova Square, once one of the Podil's main trading centers. The building is considered one of the important Classical architecture constructions of the city.[1]
