One of the tallest pre-revolutionary buildings on the central street of Rostov-on-Don, Bolshaya Sadovaya, is the income house owned by Rostov banker Alexander Mikhailovich Shtrom. Built in the 1910s by architect Leonid Fedorovich Eberg, the building has five floors, which was a significant achievement for that time. Leonid Fedorovich, who had recently graduated from the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, despite his lack of experience, created an outstanding building that is now recognized as a monument of architecture.

The design and construction took less than two years, and by 1912 the house was ready, with the loan taken for its construction fully repaid. A memorial plaque was installed on the facade of the building, stating that the house was built in honor of the 300th anniversary of the House of Romanov. This project marked a successful beginning for the young architect's career. However, soon after, World War I began, followed by two revolutions and the Civil War. The building was nationalized by the Soviet government, but after surviving all the upheavals, it returned to private ownership. Today, it houses various shops, and the building itself is included in the list of cultural heritage sites of regional significance.
