History

Agabala Guliyev

At the end of the XIX century, almost all city neighborhoods were built in the center of Baku, a stylistic trend was formed with different shades of European architecture, and eclectic and stylistic environments had begun to be compressed with modernity. For the revival of architecture, Baku architects were looking for new ways. The first period of architectural development in Baku was about to end; in the new socio-economic conditions, the national-romantic direction opened itself to revival.

In such a period, one of the monarchs of Baku, who had mines in Iran, North Caucasus and Russia, often traveling to Western Europe, decided to build a house in the national traditions of local architecture. It was Agabala Guliyev, who owned several properties in the Icheri Sheher. He protested against the European stylistics used in urban buildings, invited Y.Y. Skibinsky to order and ordered him to use the Shirvanshahs Palace, Middle East, and Arabic architecture. Skibinski worked on the building as soon as possible. Because the Shirvanshahs Palace was nearby, acquired photographs on the Middle East architecture and the Arab East attracted the attention of European and especially German scholars; albums, trials and other iconographic material were accessible to Skibin.
