In the center of Azov stands an attractive building, built in 1904, which once belonged to the famous Don oil manufacturer of Jewish descent, Abram Grigorievich Shapiro. Today, this building is recognized as a monument of architecture and is a cultural heritage site of regional significance.

An interesting story is associated with Abram Grigorievich, as local historians recount. During the excavation for the future trading complex (now the trading rows on Moskovskaya Street, No. 19 and 21), workers stumbled upon a treasure. In the ground beneath the former wooden structure, where Abram Grigorievich had long conducted trade, were silver and copper coins, ceramics, and small items. Haya, Abram's daughter and the wife of the contractor for the trading complexes, I.S. Baevsky, brought news of the treasure to her parental home.

She exclaimed: "Papa, papa, do you know what is happening where our shop was? They found coins of the Tatar Khan Kildibek, who, they say, lived back in the 14th century!"

Apparently, Abram Grigorievich was already aware of the find, as his sons, Gersh, Grigory, Lev, Vladimir, and the youngest, Isaac, were sitting at the dining table and looking at Haya with smiles. Old Abram, listening for a short while, replied: "Haya, there is no need to speak about this so loudly. It is awkward in front of people. Let the money stay where it likes. We are not particularly interested in it."
