The Town Council building on Erivan Square in Tiflis (Tbilisi), photographed in 1885 by Dmitri Ermakov, documents a key civic landmark of Imperial-era Georgia following its reconstruction by city architects A. Ozerov and P. Stern.
This historical photograph captures urban life in late 19th-century Tiflis, showing tram tracks, horse-drawn carriages, and the monumental municipal architecture that shaped the administrative center of the Russian Empire’s Caucasus Viceroyalty. As part of Georgian architectural heritage, the image provides valuable visual evidence of civic planning and modernization during the Tsarist period.
