Ponizovsky House, Neoclassical mansion in Presnensky District, Russia
The Ponizovsky House features a combination of Art Nouveau and Neoclassical architectural elements across its exterior, with a garden strip between the wall and sidewalk.
Built in 1904 by architect Lev Kekushev, the building underwent substantial renovations in 1914 that removed its original dome and decorative Art Nouveau finishes.
The structure stands as a regional cultural heritage site and currently functions as the Embassy of Afghanistan, representing diplomatic relations between nations.
Located at 42 Povarskaya Street, the mansion sits at the intersection with Skatertny Lane, making it accessible from multiple directions in central Moscow.
The building emerged from the division of the Volchkov estate in 1902, when Jacob Reck's company commissioned luxury mansions for resale in this area.
