The fourth-floor attic: the wooden roof rafters and tin sheathing slope steeply downward, and beneath them, a steep triangular gable wall. A diagonal boundary is clearly visible on the wall: the upper-left section is whitewashed brick, the lower-right is raw, reddish brick with patches of grey mortar showing through. On the right, a doorway leads further into the dark depths of the attic.
According to the estate's owners, this diagonal line is no accident, but the exact trace of the old roofline that existed before the Soviet-era reconstruction: the whitewashed brick section was once the building's actual exterior wall, coated with protective limewash against rain and snow, beneath a lower and steeper original roof. During the Soviet era the roof was raised, and the wall extended upward with raw brick, to fit two additional floors — the third and fourth — which were built in at that time. This is exactly the Soviet-era third-floor addition already mentioned back in exhibit No. 76, the very first in this series.
As in the other exhibits in this series, the animation only shifts the camera barely perceptibly — the frame is already real and in colour.
