Description[]
In 1884—1890, Rostov-on-Don merchant Semyon Ivanovich Velikanov had a mansion built for his daughter Pelageya on Kazanskaya Street (now Serafimovich Street).[1] There she lived with her husband, Matvei Kirillovich Kozlov, who was a speaker of Rostov-on-Don City Duma and a mining engineer. The mansion had 28 rooms, several cellars and a fountain in the courtyard.[2] The facades of the building were decorated in Neoclassical style.[1]
In 1921, the mansion was nationalized and Karl Marx Rostov-on-Don State Library (now Don State Public Library) was opened there.[2]
In 1994, the library was moved to another building on Pushkinskaya Street, and since then Velikanova Mansion houses .[1]
