Tokareva Mansion, Art Nouveau regional heritage site in Leninsky District, Perm, Russia.
Tokareva Mansion is an Art Nouveau and Russian Revival building in Perm with decorative cornices, moldings, and pitched roofs that shape its appearance. Inside, curved arches and flowing lines create spaces that reflect early 1900s luxury living standards.
The mansion was built in the early 1900s for a wealthy merchant whose family ran commercial operations. After the 1917 Revolution, it was taken over by the state and later converted to serve the community in a different capacity.
The building reflects how wealthy residents in early 1900s Perm embraced European architectural trends, with ornate decorative details and curved forms that still catch the eye today.
The building sits within the city of Perm and can be reached by standard routes through the downtown area, though access may be limited. Check locally before visiting to confirm whether public tours or entry are available.
The mansion originally housed different commercial businesses on its ground floor before being converted to public service. This transformation shows how the purpose of grand homes shifted dramatically in Russia after 1917.
