Sukhumi Boulevard began at Olginskaya street (now Pushkin Street) and extended westward to Torgovaya street (now Aydgylar street).
In the 1890s, the boulevard was fenced off and adorned with a beautiful park featuring exotic plants.
In 1905, a wooden rotunda was built on the boulevard for the orchestral musicians of the brass band of the 258-th Infantry Regiment of Sukhumi.
The brass band, led by Kapellmeister Forshtadt, performed three times a week—on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
In 1908 at the entrance to the boulevard from the side of Kolyubakinskaya street (now Leon street), new wrought-iron openwork gates were built according to the design of architect A. V. Sinitsyn. They were complemented by high columns and two kiosks on the sides, executed in the Greek style.
In 1910, a payphone (1 call—5 kopeks) was installed in the boulevard’s cafe, making it the first public telephone in Sukhumi.
In 1949, the gates were demolished, today, a colonnade stands on it’s place.
