Abstract
The article presents the data on the influence of historical conditions on the formation of the architectural image of a wooden residential building. The problem of preserving wooden architecture as a historical and architectural heritage is considered. Material conservation is possible for the types of residential buildings that were built in the city of Penza in the first and second half of the 19th century. Wooden Art Nouveau houses built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries have been lost for today. The construction of their virtual models is proposed.
