Zlynka is the smallest town in the Bryansk region, where a remarkable building, the Osipov mansion, has been preserved. In the 1910s, Yefim Fyodorovich Osipov, the eldest son of Fyodor Ignatievich Osipov and owner of a match factory in Zlynka, built a wooden house for himself. At that time, Yefim Fyodorovich was the town elder and headed the society for helping the poor. Fyodor Ignatievich helped each of his sons build a house: Grigory Fyodorovich settled in Novozybkov, Nikolai Fyodorovich in Bolshaya Shiryayevka in Zlynka, and Yefim Fyodorovich chose Bazar Square for his construction.
The house was built between 1910 and 1912 and featured wooden lace carvings that still retain their charm. Under the guidance of K.S. Koryagin, the best craftsmen of Zlynka worked on the decoration of the building: Ya.M. Garbuzov, I.V. Ovchinnikov, P.N. Silin, N. Osipov, and K.A. Garbuzov. The finishing of the house pleased the client.
Over the hundred years, this building housed the first Council of Workers' Deputies of Zlynka and the headquarters of the Bohun regiment of N.A. Shchors, as confirmed by the memorial plaques on the facade. After the revolution, the Osipov factories were confiscated, but during the German occupation from April to December 1918, they were returned to the owners. Then, after liberation, the factories briefly became state-owned but soon closed down completely. The owners managed to escape to safe places, as there is no information about their arrests or deaths during the Soviet period. The residential houses of the Osipovs were also nationalized. Since pre-war times, the Regional Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union operated here, and during the Great Patriotic War, the German military commandant's office was located here. Later, the city outpatient clinic was housed in the building, and with the restoration of the Zlynkovsky district in 1988, the district administration moved there.
