The income house of entrepreneur Ter-Abramyan in Rostov-on-Don, built in the late 19th century on Bolshaya Sadovaya Street (house 51), is a monument of history and culture of regional significance. Ivan Abramovich Ter-Abramyan, one of the wealthiest residents of Rostov at that time, owned several houses, a bookstore, and was engaged in publishing activities. By the mid-1880s, his printing house and editorial office were located in rented premises, and to expand his business, he needed his own house with spaces for the printing house and editorial office.

By that time, Bolshaya Sadovaya had become the main street of the city. In 1886, a new three-story brick house of Ter-Abramyan was erected on it, between Semashko and Gazetny alleys, becoming the second multi-story building on this street. The house, located next to a five-story building designed by architect Alexander Pomerantsev, had two domes. Currently, the first floor of this neighboring building houses 'Rostovenergo'.

The Ter-Abramyan house, built with his funds, featured a decorative facade. The central entrance was adorned with pilaster portals, and the upper floor was topped with a curved pediment with the date '1886'. The facade was decorated with brick decor and curved attics. Architectural details such as double sandriks, cartouches, pilasters with panels, and vases emphasized the elegance of the building. Three balconies with lattice railings and conical dome finishes complemented its appearance.

The project of the house was developed by Nikolai Matveevich Sokolov, a graduate of the St. Petersburg Institute of Civil Engineers, who in 1886 worked as a technician at the city administration and became the chief architect of the city in 1887. The house embodied his creative style, combining a decorative facade with an expressive silhouette of the building.

After the construction was completed, the premises were rented out. The first floor housed shops and the photo studio 'Photography of Isakovich'. In the 1910s, photo studios G. A. Shifrin and photographer B. P. Mishchenko operated here. For a long time, the house housed the stationery store of I. Panchenko. On the second and third floors, there was a dressmaking and sewing school of E. I. Remizova and other offices.

In 1918, the building housed the editorial office of the newspaper 'Evening Time' and Ter-Abramyan's printing house with premises on the first floor and a separate entrance. The printing house published books, calendars, and newspapers. Since the house was built, the editorial office of the newspaper 'Don Bee' also operated there.

After the death of Ivan Abramovich Ter-Abramyan in 1899, the building and printing house passed to his son Aram Ivanovich, who continued and developed his father's business. In 1910, about 50 people worked in the printing house on 6 printing machines and 15 lathes. After the death of A. I. Ter-Abramyan in 1919, the printing house closed, and the building was nationalized by the Soviet authorities.

In the 1920s, the house was inhabited by residents and turned into communal housing, which destroyed almost all interior decoration. Shops continued to operate on the first floor. During World War II, the building lost its domes but withstood. After the war, it was restored, but without domes, and the facade was whitewashed. Currently, the upper floors are residential, and there is a shop on the first floor.
