History[]
In the late 19th century the wealthy merchants Venyamin Grigorievich Kisin and Isaak Grigorievich Froimovich decided to build a new trading and revenue house, designed by the city architect , and completed in 1899. The building was reconstructed to the design of city architect between 1902 and 1910. The building was originally U-shaped; one side overlooked Gazetny Lane. This part of the building was destroyed by bombing in the Second World War.
Before the revolution of 1917, the ground floor was occupied by dress shops, while dwellings were on the upper floors. The flats were rented by Rostov doctors, lawyers and engineers, including Doctor Fabian Natanovich Gurari. He came to prominence for his use, then unique, of X-rays to treat skin diseases.
After the revolution of 1917, the Anastas Mikoyan food market and the local address bureau were located on the ground floor; later, the address bureau occupied the whole floor, and remained there until 1990. This organization was mentioned in Ilf and Petrov's satirical novel The Twelve Chairs. The larger dwellings were subdivided with additional walls, increasing the number of rooms and residents. Street children slept at the house in the 1920s.[2]
