History

edit
 
The Shenderov House in the early 1900s

The house was built at the end of 19th century. It was designed by Rostov architect N. Sokolov.[2] The house belonged to a merchant of the second guild Solomon Izrailivech Shenderov.[3] The first floor of central section was rented by different commercial organizations. Dwellings and presence chamber were on the second floor. Rental apartment were located at the side avant-corps.[2]

The Shenderov House was nationalized after the establishment of the Soviet rule. The nationalised building was taken over by trade organizations and multifamily units. The house has been damaged during the Great Patriotic war. The central tabernacle has been lost. The building was restored according to a project of architects M. Ishunin and G. Petrov.[2]

The second reconstruction was held in the 2000s. The central taberlance was restored again to its historic appearance. Now Alfa bank occupied the Shenderov House.[2]
