History
editThe 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 1917 October Revolution and the establishment of Soviet rule. The building has since undergone numerous redevelopments that have changed the interior space. In 1996, the main façade was renovated without a restoration project. In 2004 the construction company Slavyane undertook restoration work for the 255th anniversary of Rostov-on-Don, since commemorated by a plaque on the building. Currently, the former apartment building houses a shop and offices.[2][3]
