One of the most attractive pre-revolutionary buildings in Rostov-on-Don is the income house of the Friedland brothers, built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It is located at the corner of one of the blocks on the bustling Pushkin Street, which has mostly preserved its historical buildings, allowing the house to harmoniously fit into the overall appearance of the street.
Unfortunately, today no one knows the name of the architect of this remarkable three-story mansion; history has only preserved the name of its owner. The house functioned until the arrival of Soviet power. In 1920, the building was confiscated, and the fate of its owners remains unknown: perhaps they managed to leave the country with the retreating White Army, or perhaps they perished.
After the confiscation, the former income house endured the difficult 1920s and 1930s, World War II, and the entire Soviet period. Now the building has been restored and once again impresses with its beauty; life in it is bustling. People live on the two upper floors, while the first floor houses a store, pharmacy, cafe, and pawnshop.
Recently, the house was included in the list of cultural heritage sites of regional significance and is now under state protection.
