The same is with one of the main streets and favourite one in Yerevan – Hanrapetoutyan street which has a history of deep and interesting delight. Hanrapetoutyan Street was officially opened in 1856 but only in 1890s it became a well-arranged one with street lighting, payments, tiny brooks and low buildings. The\u00a0street was beginning from the former Bazarnaya (today’s Khorenatsi) street and rose up to the gardens of Getar. The street was called Nahangayin (Goubernskaya), as the Province Administration and a Court were\u00a0located on the very street. The building was an exceptional one, being the most important administrative centre for that period. Besides, it had a unique European style combined with an Armenian rose-coloured and black tuf. Between 1918-1920s the First Republic of Armenia, furthermore the Rescue Committee\u00a0and in 1921 the Council of Liberal Commissars located on Hanrapetoutyan Street.
