The Penza nobility was not known for poverty, and their real estate was impressive. The second house on Volodarsky Street once belonged to the provincial leader of the nobility, Grigory Stolypin.

This building is over 200 years old, having been constructed in the early 19th century. According to descriptions, a huge plot of land and a vast fruit garden were attached to the house. This was possible because at that time, the courtyards were not yet built up, and the buildings were located at a significant distance from each other. In this luxurious mansion lived Grigory Stolypin, who was a distant relative of Elizaveta Arsenyeva, Lermontov's grandmother. According to some sources, the future poet stayed here in August 1817, although local historian Alexander Dvorzhansky claims that the house was under renovation at that time, and Stolypin likely accommodated guests elsewhere. In any case, Mikhail Yuryevich was well acquainted with the estate's owner. Grigory Danilovich himself lived here for a short time and sold the mansion to Ivan Kish, a subject of the Saxon principality, in March 1821. The enterprising German immediately began to renovate the building.

Later, Mr. Kish opened a hotel here, which bore his name. It was one of the oldest hotels in Penza, closing only during the Soviet era when it was converted into a dormitory.
