Argutinsky-Dolgorukov House

The Argutinsky-Dolgorukov House was erected in the last quarter of the 19th century. Shops were located in the ground floor of the building. Dwellings occupied the second and the third floors. The building was nationalized after the establishment of the Soviet rule. Plan of the house has been modified after that. The first restoration work without a separate draft was being taken place in 1996. In 2004, a Slavyane construction company grant was used to implement sweeping restoration work. The house's current owner is the keepers of the dwelling and offices.[2][3]

The three-store building was designed in the Art Nouveau style in the end of the 19th century. It is part of historic urban development on Bol'shaya Sadovaya street. Architecture of the building employs also baroque and classic elements of decoration. The facade is decorated with attics and banded central and side rustications. Second-floor rectangular windows are crowned with segmental cornices with relief. The second floor has small balconies with delicate iron-cast railing. The columns of the central arch use composite Corinthian order. The entrance to the yard is decorated with two atlantes.[4]
