NORTH STATION The largest of the river stations was built in 1937. From a distance, the station’ s architecture resembles a wave-surfing ship, with a high spire mast crowned with a star, which headed the main tower of the Moscow Kremlin previously. Light, graceful galleries give coolness on a hot day, and richly inlaid with the Ural gems hammer and sickle of the spire amaze the imagination. The decorative majolica panel on the facade, depicting « Moscow of the future », the way people imaged it at the end of the 30-ies drives the special attention. You can get to the North River Station by metro— there is a station with the speaking name « Rechnoy vokzal » next to it.
