Here is one of the typical houses with the three "front buildings" in the civil area of the old settlement Yermakovo.

Yermakovo (Russian: Ермако́во) is an urban-type settlement in Krasnoyarsk krai near the town of Igarka in Siberia. It was built in 1949 as a gulag to house the prisoners constructing the Salekhard–Igarka Railway. By 1955 it was abandoned. It was revitalised in the 2000s as a tourist town. The population in 2011 was 12. (though it may have grown to around 20 by 2015) The main attraction for the town is a unique gulag museum.
