Leonid Fedorovich Eberg, a native of the Moscow province, is one of the renowned architects of Rostov-on-Don, having created a number of unique architectural monuments in this city.

He was born on August 6, 1882, in the Bronitsky district. In 1911, he graduated from the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture and soon received an invitation to work in the rapidly developing Rostov-on-Don. His first work in the new city was the five-story apartment building of Strom. Subsequently, he created numerous architectural masterpieces, among which the apartment building of Chirikov and the mansion of Paramonov stand out. Interestingly, during the Civil War, the Chirikov apartment building housed a hospital for the Volunteer Army of General Anton Denikin, and in the Paramonov mansion, the headquarters of the Volunteer Army under General Lavr Kornilov was located in the winter of 1918.

Leonid Fedorovich lived in a house at the corner of the modern streets Gorky and Semashko (house 80), and later moved to Serafimovich Street (house 76). After the establishment of Soviet power, he no longer created masterpieces like those of the pre-revolutionary period, as the new regime demanded simpler and more typical solutions. According to some reports, in his old age, he participated in the restoration of the former Chirikov apartment building, but there is no exact confirmation of this. Leonid Fedorovich passed away in Rostov on October 24, 1954.

His son, Leonid Leonidovich Eberg, also became a well-known architect. He lived for 75 years and died of a stroke on December 4, 1982.
