History

The revenue house on Taganrog Avenue (now Budennovskiy Avenue) was built at the beginning of the 20th century for Vladimir Kirillovich Chirikov, who was a confectionary factory owner, a member of the city government and the chairman of Mutual Credit Society. The author of the project was architect Leonid Fedorovich Eberg, who also supervised the construction works. In 1912, when construction were about to be finished, Chirikov visited the construction site and demanded to install two columns at the facade. The architect objected to the installation of the columns, since the composition of the building was based on the architectural principles of the Renaissance. In response, Chirikov said: "And who pays you the money ― the Renaissance or me? .." Eberg could not object any longer and had to install these two columns.[4][1]

The five-story brick building plastered on the facade, it is a massive architectural object, with a multi-pitched roof, two rectangular bay windows, which are united on the top floor with a massive arch topped with a decorative arcade over the cornice. Two sculptures in antique style staid on the pediment until 1917, and disappeared after the October Revolution.[5]

During Russian Civil War, the building served as a hospital for the wounded soldiers of the White Army led by Anton Denikin.[6]

During World War II the house wasn't damaged despite heavy shelling of the city.

Today Chirikov House is occupied by a police office.[3]
