    the administrative building (1957) was built for the All-Union Research and Design Institute of Electroceramics. The premises are rented out. Behind this building was an old military unit, the barracks of which were marked on the maps of 1838. On the maps of the late 19th century, this place was designated as the Gunpowder Factory and the Artillery Laboratory.

      The building at 17 Shosse Entuziastov is an example of late Stalinist neoclassicism (1957) with a brick façade and typical bas-reliefs — a transitional decor between Stalinist splendor and Khrushchev's minimalism. VNIIEK, created in 1942 to develop high-voltage insulators, ceramic-metal bonding technologies, and materials for direct current power transmission lines, operated here. The institute, which replaced 7 departments, including the State Committee for Automation, became a key center of the electrical industry of the USSR. The ceramic elements of the building symbolically reflected scientific specialization: from refractories to electroporcelain. A little-known monument, where the aesthetics of the economy of the 1950s intertwined with industrial progress.
