Architect V. A. Planson in Vladivostok and San Francisco
This article is devoted to the architect Vladimir Antonovich Planson (1871, Vyatka — 1950, San Francisco), who in 1900–1921 constructed a number of buildings in Vladivostok which are regarded now as architectural monuments. Using materials from the architect’s personal collection, which is stored at the Museum-Archive of the Russian Culture in San Francisco, the authors tell us about Planson’s life and his creative activities, as well as about the history of the construction of a number of buildings. Previously unknown documents, taken from Planson’s archives, allow us to establish his authorship regarding some constructions, which until recently were mistakenly attributed to other architects.
