Architect
K. B. Skurevich. This building was owned by Oil Baron Taghiyev
and built in 1896-1898. In reality, it was the first covered
shopping mall to be constructed in Baku.
At that time, it was a jewelry store, which sold gold, precious
stones and various national decorations and souvenirs (such as
daggers) that had been made from gold, silver and other precious
metals.
Taghiyev's Pasaj is not specifically mentioned in the novel,
though the street is mentioned as the route on which Ali would
pass when he walked to his friend's house, Ilyas Taghiyev,
who lived three blocks further down on Baryatinskaya Street [present-day
Alizade Street].
