One example of pre-revolutionary architecture in Rostov-on-Don is the three-story income house of Pivovarova, located on Shaumyan Street, formerly known as Dmitrievskaya.

The building was erected in the late 19th to early 20th century by doctor Pyotr Pavlovich Chubukhchiev and remained in his ownership until 1915. In addition to his personal office for treating skin and venereal diseases, the house housed the offices of dentists Revich and Rozovskaya-Sulikova, as well as the office of assistant attorney Abramov and Trapezoncev. Later, the building passed to entrepreneur Pivovarova, but her plans were disrupted by the arrival of Soviet power, which confiscated the building.

Today, the first floor of the building hosts shops and cafes, while the two upper floors contain residential apartments. In 2004, the building was included in the list of cultural heritage sites of regional significance. However, despite its protected status, the building was partially reconstructed without official permission, which is a violation of the law. In April 2013, it became known that work was being done on the foundation to connect to the sewage system, while not all legislative norms were followed. As a result of this work, according to residents, cracks appeared in the apartments. An employee of the regional Ministry of Culture recorded the violation of the integrity of the protected object, but the further fate of this case is unknown.
