Особняк Щербакова, Regional heritage mansion in Kungur, Russia.
The Shcherbakov Mansion is a two-story building on Sovetskaya Street in Kungur, erected in 1901 on the site of a wooden house owned by merchant Mikhail Shcherbakov. It originally housed a hotel known as Shcherbakov Rooms and now contains the Kungur District administration and other state institutions.
The building was constructed in 1901 by merchant Mikhail Shcherbakov and initially operated as a hotel called Shcherbakov Rooms. Following the 1917 Revolution, it was taken over by the state and converted to serve different public functions.
The building's name comes from merchant Mikhail Shcherbakov, who ran a hotel here known as "Shcherbakov Rooms". After the 1917 revolution it was nationalized, and during the Civil War in 1918 it housed the staff of Vasily Blyukher's 30th Rifle Division. Later it held a commission shop, a Peasant House and the city Communist Party committee.
The building stands on Sovetskaya Street, Kungur's main axis, and now houses the Kungur District administration and other state institutions. It is an active office, so visits are limited to the exterior; the two-storey facade and the site of the former Shcherbakov Rooms hotel can be seen from the pavement.
The building was formally recognized in 1986 as a monument of urban planning and architecture, placing it on a protected heritage register. This recognition reflects how the 19th-century street layout and architectural design have been preserved to the present day.
