Christofor Fotiadi owned a large mechanical shoe factory, and his business was quite successful: Fotiadi's shoes competed well with well-known foreign brands in the Yekaterinodar market. However, there were rumors that the manufacturer achieved success due to "excessive exploitation of female and child labor," as reported in the newspapers.

Like many wealthy citizens, Fotiadi invested in real estate. In 1912, he began constructing his own house on a purchased plot on Sobornaya Street.

"The project and estimate were created by architect A. A. Kozlov. Unfortunately, the documents of the Yekaterinodar City Administration have not survived, so it is impossible to confirm this documentarily. However, this was told by the architect's widow, Ekaterina Nikolaevna Zolotarevskaya, and the style of the building also indicates that it is the work of Kozlov," writes Bardadym.

The center of the mansion's composition features a large-radius round lantern with a conical dome. The building is complemented by two rectangular volumes. The facade of the house is faced with blue glazed tiles and decorated with stucco floral ornamentation, while the attic of the lantern features a "belt" that imitates a colonnade.

One of the risalits protruding from the facade of the house is adorned with a ceramic seagull. It is likely that Kozlov used the symbol of the Moscow Art Theatre in the decor intentionally, as his mentor, academician Shekhtel, developed the facade project of the Moscow Art Theatre and created sketches for updating its emblem and ticket design.

The interior walls of the mansion were decorated with views of Athens, Fotiadi's homeland. The paintings were done by the architect's friend, artist Roman Kolesnikov.

In 1918-1919, the leader of the White movement in Southern Russia, Anton Denikin, lived in Fotiadi's house. After the establishment of Soviet power in 1922, the mansion was municipalized and transferred to the city health department. The house housed a children's resort sanatorium. Currently, the Fotiadi house is home to the administration of KTO "Premiera."
