In the southern part were the city's factories, railway stations, telegraph buildings, hospitals and schools. Not far from the factories was the <i>English colony</i> where the engineers and the management lived. After the construction of the residence of <a href="/wiki/John_Hughes_(businessman)" title="John Hughes (businessman)">John Hughes</a> and the various complexes for the foreign workers, the city's southern portion was constructed mainly in the English style. </p><p>These buildings used rectangular and triangular shaped façades, green rooftops, large windows, which occupied a large portion of the building, and balconies. In this part of the town, the streets were large and had pavements. A major influence on the formation of architecture in Donetsk was the <i>official architect</i> of a <a href="/wiki/Novorossiya" title="Novorossiya">Novorossiya</a> company — <i>Moldingauyer</i>. Preserved buildings of the southern part of Yuzovka consisted of the residences of John Hughes (<i>1891, partially preserved</i>), Bolfur (<i>1889</i>) and Bosse. </p><p>In the northern part of Yuzovka, <i>Novyi Svet</i>, lived traders, craftsmen and bureaucrats. Here were located the market hall, the police headquarters and the <a href="/wiki/Transfiguration_Cathedral,_Donetsk" title="Transfiguration Cathedral, Donetsk">Transfiguration Cathedral</a>. The central street of Novyi Svet and the neighbouring streets were mainly edged by one- or two-story residential buildings, as well as markets, restaurants, hotels, offices and banks. A famous preserved building in the northern part of Yuzovka was the Hotel Great Britain. </p><p>The first general plan of Stalino was made in 1932 in <a href="/wiki/Odesa" title="Odesa">Odesa</a> by the architect P.
