Abstract
On the basis of theoretical works devoted to the classical theory of architecture, classification of details of facades of historical buildings built on the basis of order theory is presented. The main classification features are the location of elements on the facade and the complexity of the form making. The proposed classification allows covering the variety of types of historical elements of facades in a short course, which is important in the training of architects-restorers, as well as architects using order details. The principles of the proposed classification can be used to study the details of buildings of any stylistic architectural period based on classical order architecture.

Summary
Details of buildings facades are the most important components of architecture, directly determining the image of the architectural structure. Details of facades of historical buildings of the XVII-XIX centuries are the basic elements, the study of which is of great importance for the restoration of architectural monuments, and for the history of architecture in general. There are many types of details of facades of historical buildings: columns, frames of windows and doors, rusts, cornices, rods, panels, etc. The forms of these elements are different in different style periods and in different regions of construction. It is necessary to develop a classification, the principles of which are applicable to the study of details of buildings of any style period based on classical order architecture
