Houses don't last forever. You gotta keep them up. Painting, new roof, fresh kitchen. Sometimes you outlive the place and move on to something current. On the outskirts of Khiva sits a good example of a late Tsar/Khan style mashup house, now left for the elements to wear away.
Exterior, looking a little like a Santa Fe ranch house.
Silk Road era carved column detail. Inside, way past TLC stage. Nice detail of Russian baroque crown molding.
Living room with grand fireplace and a tiny water leak in the ceiling.
Silhouetted rooms with remnants of cupcake ceiling medallions.
Outside is also in bad shape. The pool/fountain sits empty, collecting leaves.
