History

The Argutinsky-Dolgorukov House was erected in the last quarter of the 19th century. Shops were located in the ground floor of the building. Dwellings occupied the second and the third floors. The building was nationalized after the establishment of the Soviet rule. Plan of the house has been modified after that. The first restoration work without a separate draft was being taken place in 1996. In 2004, a Slavyane construction company grant was used to implement sweeping restoration work. The house's current owner is the keepers of the dwelling and offices.[2][3]
