Popov I. N. House in Perm, Regional cultural heritage building in Perm, Russia.
The Popov I. N. House is a two-story building on October 25th Street featuring classical Russian architectural elements from the late 1700s. Its facade displays crafted details and the structure is typical of merchant dwellings built in the region during that period.
The building was constructed in 1787 when Perm was expanding and prosperous merchants were erecting substantial residences along main streets. This period marked a thriving phase for the trading city as new construction reflected its commercial success.
The house reflects how wealthy merchants lived and organized their homes in Perm. Its design shows the local building traditions that owners valued during that era.
The house stands at the corner of 25 Oktyabrya Street and Monastyrskaya Street, a short walk from the Kama embankment. It is not residential: private firms occupy the building, a coffee house with a concert space opened on the second floor in 2021, and a vegetarian cafe on the ground floor. A memorial plaque to Mikhail Speransky is on the wall.
The structure retains many of its original construction features from the 1700s. These details give visitors a rare look at building methods that were used in Perm during that time.
