House of Kukolnik, 19th-century merchant residence on Petrovskaya Street, Taganrog, Russia.

The two-story brick building features symmetrical windows, decorative moldings, and a stone foundation that reflects 1860s Russian architectural designs.

Constructed in 1861 for Nestor Kukolnik, a prominent playwright who influenced railroad development and lived there until his death in 1868.

The residence housed the District Court from 1869 to 1879 and later became the headquarters of the Azovo-Donskoy Commercial Bank until 1915.

Located at 74 Petrovskaya Street, the building contains protected architectural elements and displays a commemorative plaque about its former owner.

The structure served as a meeting point for local intellectuals and later accommodated the city archives on its first floor from 1947.
