One of the significant architectural monuments of Rostov-on-Don is the building of the former hospital of the Volunteer Army of General Denikin, which was located in the income house of Chirikov during the Civil War. Built in 1913 by the famous architect Leonid Fedorovich Eberg, this building is now a cultural heritage site of regional significance.

The income house on Taganrogsky Avenue was erected in the early 20th century at the request of Vladimir Kirillovich Chirikov, the owner of a confectionery factory and chairman of the city Society of Mutual Credit. The project was developed by the well-known Rostov architect Eberg, who also supervised the construction work. In 1912, Chirikov, visiting the construction site, insisted on the installation of two columns on the facade, despite the architect's objections, who believed it would disrupt the Renaissance composition of the building. However, the owner's wish was fulfilled, and the columns changed the original appearance of the house.

The five-story brick building with a plastered facade is characterized by its massiveness and complex architectural composition. It features a multi-pitched roof, two rectangular bay windows connected on the upper floor by a massive arch adorned with decorative arcading. The facade is complemented by arched three-tiered bay windows with arched windows.

The building stood out among the surrounding structures with its harmonious proportions, elegant details, and ornamentation of the cornices, as well as medallions and emblems above the double windows. In 1913, the newspaper "Priazovsky Krai" called Chirikov's income house one of the most outstanding in size and architecture in Rostov.

The house was equipped with water heating, electric lighting, a telephone, and an elevator connecting the basement with the floors, a restaurant, and a summer garden on the roof. The first floor housed shops, while the upper floors contained apartments with 4-7 rooms. Among the residents was the owner's brother, Sergey Kirillovich Chirikov.

During the Civil War, the building housed a hospital for wounded soldiers of the Volunteer Army of General Denikin. Later, it treated White Guards from all branches of the Armed Forces of Southern Russia. This is an important but little-known page in the building's history.

After the arrival of Soviet power, the building was subjected to looting and destruction. The year of construction, inscribed in Roman numerals, and two antique sculptures on the pediment were destroyed. Later, the building suffered from a fire but survived. In 1927, restoration began, recreating the facade almost in its original form, although the interiors were lost.

During World War II, the building was not damaged, and after its conclusion, it housed Glavsevkavstroy. In the 2000s, it was home to the Rostov-on-Don Internal Affairs Directorate, and now it houses the police department of the Lenin district. The building still impresses with its majestic appearance.
