One of the architectural gems of Rostov-on-Don is the house of manufacturer Solodov, built in the 19th century. In the 1880s, its reconstruction was handled by the famous Rostov architect Nikolai Alexandrovich Doroshenko.

The house was built for the factory owner and is designed in the eclectic style, which was Doroshenko's favorite style. The window openings are adorned with rectangular lintels, and the window niches feature rosettes. The building has two floors and a rectangular shape, with a basement located in the central part. The attic is topped with two four-sided spires. The house is plastered, and the semi-circular windows are framed with simple moldings. The parapet is decorated with an ornate metal railing. The stucco decor includes masks that adorn the keystones and brackets, and they also appear in the design of the attics. During renovation work, the roof and ceilings were redone several times.

The house was part of the Solodov factory complex and had the same address. In the early 20th century, it was listed as the property of Ekaterina Nikolaevna Solodova, the manufacturer's wife. After the arrival of Soviet power, all factory buildings were confiscated, and the building housed the 'House of Enlightenment Workers,' also known as the 'Teachers' House.' Unfortunately, over the years of Soviet power, the exterior and interior appearance of the house suffered greatly, including the loss of grilles on the first-floor windows and the original design of the window and door openings.

Today, the building is included in the list of cultural heritage sites of regional significance and is protected by the state. It is located at Gazetny Lane 47.
