One example of pre-revolutionary income houses in Rostov-on-Don is the house owned by local entrepreneur Vasily Semyonovich Kushnarev, brother of the famous manufacturer Yakov Semyonovich Kushnarev. Built in the 1900s, this mansion is now recognized as a cultural heritage site of regional significance.

The facade of the building is designed in the Eastern style, characteristic of club buildings of that time. The house is two stories high, with a tall basement. The window openings of the upper floor have semicircular finishes, and the arches of the windows rest on paired Byzantine columns. The facade is topped with a high cornice with a low parapet, adorned with numerous decorative elements featuring sculpted Eastern ornaments. Originally, there was a dome on the roof, and a marble staircase was located in the eastern part of the house.

In the pre-revolutionary period, a tobacco factory owned by Yakov Kushnarev was located next to the house, and there was an exit to the prestigious "Summer Theater-Garden Buff" from the courtyard. The income house of Kushnarev was a popular place, housing a restaurant with an open veranda facing the courtyard.

After the establishment of Soviet power, the building was confiscated from the owner and transferred to the headquarters of the North Caucasian Military District. For a long time, the former income house of Kushnarev housed a cafeteria. During World War II, the roof of the building was destroyed but was later restored with changes. In 2012, the Southern Military District headquarters carried out reconstruction, during which the roof and facade were rebuilt.
