Lukin's House was built in 1905 according to the design of architect F.E. Ponomarev. This wooden house, located on the red line of the street among brick high-rises, has a G-shaped form and consists of volumes of varying heights. The two-story part of the building is topped with a four-sided tent with a spire. On the facade facing the street, there is a loggia with a carved lace arched railing on four supports.

After the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, the plot was purchased by Lieutenant Zhogalev for the construction of a residential building, which was completed in 1911. The estate included a water pump and outbuildings. Soon the mansion passed to livestock businessman D.M. Gleizer, and then it was bought by the Chita merchant of the second guild, Mikhail Timofeevich Lukin, who also owned brewing and kvass production in Chita. He owned factories, taverns, warehouses, and the first kerosene truck in the city. He opened the first soda and soap factories in the region and, since 1907, became an honorary guardian of the city Duma, showing himself as an active public figure and financier.

In 1915, the house, with the owners' permission, housed 40 Austrian prisoners of war. In the 1930s, the mansion was used as housing for several families and by that time had significantly deteriorated. Since the late 1970s, it housed various organizations, including the Chita branch of the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments and the City House of Creative Intelligentsia. Photo exhibitions, art exhibitions, local history evenings, and checkers and chess competitions were held here. Since 1990, the former house of Mikhail Timofeevich Lukin has housed the Center for Aesthetic Education of Children 'Ornament'. In the 2000s, a major renovation was carried out in the mansion.

Lukin's estate is a decoration and one of the main attractions of Chita.
