In 1950, Semyon Akimovich returned to Novorossiysk, where his career as a renowned architect began. He built or restored a house on Shevchenko Street, where he lived until the end of his days.

"The house was small but had harmonious proportions. On the first floor, there were two cozy rooms and a kitchen. Despite the modest, almost ascetic surroundings, the interior featured several items from his previous life in Saratov: a couple of nightstands, a large grandmother's bed with high backs, and possibly a chair. The house also had a second floor, which was a summer attic. There were two small rooms, one of which led to a balcony with a stunning view of the sea and Novorossiysk bay."

After Semyon Akimovich's death, his daughter took care of the house for some time. Over time, the building became abandoned, and homeless people began to sleep there. In the 2000s, after complaints from some neighbors, the house was demolished.
