Hi Jerome,

The stairway in the picture is a remainder of the racetrack
bleachers.The racetrack was destroyed during the WWI (I am not sure
whether by fighting or flood), but the stairway survived well into
1960-ies or even 70-ies.

Here is the photo made from the bleachers when the track was still
operational:

Another one with the horses on the Prut, but no race track already:
