House of Printing, Federal cultural heritage site in Yekaterinburg, Russia.

The House of Printing is a four-storey reinforced-concrete building at the corner of Prospekt Lenina and Turgeneva Street, with an L-shaped plan and a rounded corner. Its smooth facades carry ribbon windows, and a glazed stair bay projects from the east facade. The longer facade runs along Prospekt Lenina and abuts the Musical Comedy Theatre to the west.

Built in 1929–1930 by decision of the regional Communist Party committee, the House of Printing housed the editorial office and printing press of the newspaper «Uralsky Rabochy». During World War II it also sheltered the Sverdlovsk book publisher and the regional branch of the USSR Writers' Union led by Pavel Bazhov, with a dormitory for evacuated writers, making it an unofficial centre of literary life.

The building embodies constructivist design principles that prioritized function and industrial materials over decoration. Walking past it, you can see how form follows purpose in every detail.

The building stands at the corner of Prospekt Lenina and Turgeneva Street, its longer facade running along the avenue and its west side adjoining the Musical Comedy Theatre. The slope of the avenue creates a ground-level basement floor on the west side. A bookshop occupies the basement; the upper floors hold city organisations and are not open to visitors.

The east facade has a glazed stair bay, a rounded corner, and a basement level on the west side due to the slope of Prospekt Lenina. The building is a federal architectural monument.
