The Great Room was the highlight of the Russian Mennonite house. Out of bounds for children, it was for the parents and their guests only. Medicine, fancy dishes, and valuables were stored here, as well as old books, passports, and bedding. The big central stove in the middle of the house kept this room warm. Click on the virtual tour above to experience a late 1800’s – early 1900’s  great room in a Mennonite house in the Russian Empire. The layout shown in this room is based largely on an earlier post found here. It is from a Russian archival drawing of a typical  Mennonite home from 1852. Click on the link and follow the notes inside the virtual room to learn more about the furniture. 
I built this house in Autodesk Revit and rendered the 360 image in Twinmotion.
