In the historical part of Rostov-on-Don, st. Shaumyan 64
Near the intersection of Cathedral Lane and Shaumyan Street, the former Dmitrievskaya Street, on its southern side, a four-story brick house with an attic floor at number 64 has been preserved. Its restrained architectural appearance is typical for tenement houses of the early 20th century. And yet today our eyes are attracted by the surviving details: - a fan-shaped pattern of forged balcony railings; - glazed transom front door; - a canopy over it on openwork brackets. The date 1913 is inscribed in the forged ornament under its slopes. This is the time when construction was completed.
However, we do not know today how long the house was built
And the empty fragment in the ornament above the date also attracts attention. Most likely, the initials of the owner were placed here. Who was the owner of the house? And what significant events were in his more than a century of biography? Let's try to figure this out with you.
Since 1890, there was a one-story building on this site, the owners of which changed very often. In 1905, Yadviga Zakharzhevskaya owned the house, then Elena Efimovna Pocheptsova. Soon, the construction of a multi-storey building began here, during which Stepan Filippovich Konovalov became the owner.
The new tenement house already welcomed its first tenants in 1913
Credit is due to the unknown architect who, on a limited plot, managed to erect one of the tallest buildings of that time on this street. It has four floors, a residential attic and a basement, while commercial premises were located on the ground floor. The building is rectangular in plan, with an inner courtyard-well and expressive brick decoration on the facade. The design uses elements typical of the neoclassical Art Nouveau style. The central entrance is highlighted by a risalit for the full height of the building and, at the level of the second and third floors, is framed by a decorative portal.
Despite the dense urban fabric, the house looks slender and monumental
The architectural appearance is shaped by interfloor mouldings and a cornice, pilasters framing the third-floor windows, rusticated pilaster strips flanking the entrance and the corners of the facade, as well as geometric inserts along the frieze, under the second- and third-floor windows, and in the piers of the third floor. Its facade reads clearly from the street, and precise proportions emphasize the status of an early 20th-century tenement house.
In 2007, the historic house once again found itself in the spotlight — it became a filming location
Director Valery Todorovsky filmed the movie “Vice” in Rostov-on-Don and chose this very building as the home of the main character, played by the well-known Russian actor Maxim Matveev. The film frames preserve the look of the house at that time, its special atmosphere, and architectural details.
Unfortunately, over the years some of the building’s unique elements have been lost
Some openwork railings disappeared, the original window frames were replaced, and facade details changed. That is why it is especially pleasing that a few years ago the house gained a new and, most importantly, responsible owner — a person who carefully treats historical heritage, preserves what remains, and seeks to restore an atmosphere of antiquity and comfort to the interiors. Today the office of Alexey Maralin’s luxury real estate agency is located here. It is symbolic that a company working with unique properties chose a building with such a rich fate. We wish the agency success and prosperity, and the old Rostov house on Dmitrievskaya Street — careful preservation and a worthy continuation of its history. There is still much of interest ahead.
