Abstract
The article is devoted to the professional architectural activities of the architect Alexander A. Gvozdziovsky. Despite his fourteen-year practice in the Far East, the existing publications about the architect contained but scarce information about his education and position at the Construction Department. A comprehensive study was carried out, covering project documents and archival materials (the Russian State Historical Archive, the Russian State Historical Archive of the Far East, the Central State Historical Archive of St. Petersburg), and periodicals of the late 19th - early 20th century (newspapers "Vladivostok" and "Vladivostok Diocese Vedomosti", magazine "Builder"). The scientific novelty of the work lies in the discovery of previously unknown facts about the biography and professional activities of the architect in St. Petersburg and Vladivostok, including information on his academic period, multidimensional activities as regional architect at the Construction Department of the Primorsky Regional Board, and private architectural practice. We performed an architectural and stylistic correlation analysis of architectural objects in St. Petersburg and Vladivostok erected with the participation of or following the architect's designs.
