One of the most beautiful examples of pre-revolutionary architecture in Rostov-on-Don today is the income house of A. Z. Argutinsky-Dolgorukov, built in the late 19th century in the Art Nouveau style.

Today, this house is recognized as a monument of civil architecture and is included in the list of cultural heritage sites of regional significance. The three-story building is part of the historical development of the main street of Rostov-on-Don and showcases its diversity of styles. Its design incorporates elements and decor characteristic of classicism and baroque. The symmetry of the facade is emphasized by central and side pilasters, topped with decorative attics. The windows on the second floor are adorned with arched lintels featuring stucco work. Five open rectangular balconies have curved ornate metal railings. The arch above the entrance to the central balcony is supported by two Corinthian columns, and the central part is highlighted by an entrance framed by atlantes.

Until 1920, the first floor of the house housed shops, while the second and third floors contained residential premises. However, after the arrival of Soviet power, the building was nationalized, and numerous renovations altered the interior space. In 1996, the facade of the building was repaired without a restoration project. By the 255th anniversary of Rostov-on-Don in 2004, the building was restored by the construction company 'Slavyane,' as evidenced by a commemorative plaque. Currently, the former income house accommodates a store and offices.
