Sutyagin House
The Sutyagin House (Russian: Дом Сутягина, Dom Sutyagina; also called Деревянный небоскрёб, "wooden skyscraper", or Соломбальский небоскрёб, "Solombala skyscraper") was a wooden house in Arkhangelsk, Russia. The 13-story, 44-metre-tall (144 ft) house of the local resident Nikolai Petrovich Sutyagin was reported to be the world's, or at least Russia's, tallest wooden house, exceeding even the height of Kizhi Pogost, the said to be the tallest wooden church in Russia (actually it is not correct: the Church of the Transfiguration in Kizhi is only 37 meters high; the tallest surviving wooden church, and indeed the tallest of all wooden buildings in Russia, is the Church of the Ascension in Piyala, Arkhangelsk region, 45 m or 148 ft, built in 1654).
