Specialists have completed the restoration of a historic oak door on Antonovycha Street, 18, as part of a co-financing program. The project, which required a total cost of 110,000 UAH, was funded 30% by residents and 70% by the city, with 77,000 UAH covered by municipal funds.
Restoration Details
The restoration process lasted several months. The door was heavily damaged, and its natural beauty was hidden under layers of paint. The restoration team replaced damaged wooden sections, reconstructed missing decorative elements, installed new glass, and added modern handles. The final touch included coating the wood with acrylic glaze and stain.
“The door was in critical condition. Its size and damage posed challenges, but we preserved its intricate carvings and restored its original charm,” said restorer Rostyslav Maletskyi.
A Milestone for Antonovycha Street
This is the first restored door on Antonovycha Street under the co-financing program. “Collaboration with residents allowed us to preserve a significant piece of the city’s architectural heritage,” noted Stefania Topilko, director of the Heritage Bureau.
