The First Electrical Substation of Moscow Metro, completed in 1935 in Moscow's Arbat District, is an Art Deco landmark designed by architect Daniil Fridman. Originally built to serve the emerging metro system, the structure remains both a functioning electrical facility and a historically significant example of early Soviet modernist design. Designated as a historically valuable town-forming object, it stands as testament to the infrastructure innovations that enabled Moscow's rapid urban expansion during the 1930s.
