Davit Agmashenebeli Avenue

Information in details

Due to its modest dimensions and plain appearance, the small-sized mansard building located at 109, Davit Agmashenebeli Avenue is less noticeable in the background of the larger and richly decorated buildings of the avenue. The brick-built building, covered with plaster and opened with narrow door-window openings, is a later, 19th-century version of the Tbilisi trade rows built with old Georgian bricks and opened with wide, arched openings. The attic floor was added to the building on the avenue as a result of the rehabilitation reconstruction carried out in 2009-2010. 
Tiflis, as the political and economic center of Transcaucasia, was naturally also an active trading city, which contributed to the creation of various types of commercial facilities here. One of its types was the shopping rows, which consisted of stalls lined up along the street, small stalls, and workshops selling all kinds of products. Every shopping district in Tbilisi had its own name.
