The design of Kryachkov's buildings was beautiful. He understood the peculiarity of Siberia. Andrey Dmitrievich died at the age of 74 in 1950 in Sochi. There he was buried.

People of Novosibirsk think with gratitude and a big feeling of respect about that talented person.

I think Kryachkov was very important for Novosibirsk. He built a lot buildings and he made our city attractive. In future I would like to do something useful for my city too.
