Lyahmayer House, Regional cultural heritage site on Ulyanovskaya street, Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
Lyahmayer House is a three-story residential building on Ulyanovskaya Street in Rostov-on-Don with classical architecture and decorative banded rustications. The building features small balconies with cast-iron railings on the second and third floors, rectangular windows, and street-level access from Stanislavsky Street.
The house was built in the late 1800s and originally belonged to Yekaterina Petrovna Lyakhmayer before being sold to lawyer Abram Lazarevich Chernikov in 1910. It received regional heritage monument status when the Rostov Oblast Administration designated it in 1998.
The house is named after its original owner Yekaterina Petrovna Lyakhmayer and reflects the prosperous residential culture of the late 1800s. It demonstrates how wealthy families in Rostov lived and used their homes as rental properties to generate income.
The building is visible from the street corner where two streets meet and is accessible from both Ulyanovskaya and Stanislavsky Streets. Visitors can observe the classical architectural details from the street and study the facade with its decorative elements.
The building was highly profitable in its early years and produced annual income for its owner despite facing closure threats in the early 1900s due to sanitary violations. These issues led to fines but also showed that authorities viewed the property as valuable enough to regulate rather than demolish.
