The house where Ural writer A. P. Bondin lived and created is recognized as a historical monument of regional significance. Built in the second half of the 19th century, it represents an example of wooden architecture of the Middle Urals of that time. The building consisted of two one-story houses under a common roof, which housed two apartments. One of them was occupied by the Bondin family in 1935 and 1939.

In 1942, by the decision of the Nizhny Tagil City Executive Committee, a memorial plaque was installed on the house with the inscription: "In this house lived and worked Ural writer A. P. Bondin. 1882, 1939 years." Since then, the apartment where the writer's widow lived with her sister became an unofficial museum. During the Great Patriotic War, Moscow writers M. S. Shaginyan, E. A. Permyak, Leningrad resident V. P. Barmin, as well as Sverdlovsk writers P. P. Bazhov, B. A. Dizhura, K. V. Bogolyubov, K. V. Rozhdestvenskaya, E. E. Khorinskaya, and B. S. Ryabinin visited here. The writer's widow, Alexandra Samuilovna, carefully preserved his archive and collected biographical documents, photographs, and memories of contemporaries.

For the centenary of A. P. Bondin's birth in 1982, the museum building was renovated, and a new exhibition was created, authored by T. N. Petrukhina and S. I. Petrova. The Nizhny Tagil railway branch, where the writer once worked, actively participated in the reconstruction. In the memorial part of the house, the atmosphere of Bondin's living room and study was recreated, while in the part where the neighbors lived, a new exhibition "The Life and Work of Writer A. P. Bondin" and an exhibition "The History of Literary Life in Nizhny Tagil" were placed. In 1993, the exhibition was updated, expanding the themes of Bondin's creativity and the literary life of the city. The author of the reconstruction was M. A. Boykova, head of the memorial literary museum.

The A. P. Bondin Museum is an important center of literary life in Nizhny Tagil. Since 1992, members of the literary studio "Steps" have gathered here, from which many talented poets have emerged. The museum also hosts a children's literary parlor and changing exhibitions.
