Pochtovaya street 27, Cultural heritage building in Omsk, Russia

The Khlebnikov House is a single-storey timber building of horizontal dark brown log courses on a low pale stone base, at Pochtovaya 27 / Sazhinskaya 45. Its low pitched roof is damaged, with exposed rafters and two brick chimneys. A projecting covered entrance on the left has a rust-red sheet-metal canopy over a double door of yellow-ochre planks; to the right, two large window openings are boarded with yellow-ochre boards. Blue-grey carved wooden pilasters frame parts of the facade.

The building was constructed between 1903 and 1912 by lawyer A.I. Khlebnikov, who had been exiled to Eastern Siberia in 1887 on suspicion of political involvement. Despite his exile, he established what became an important center of cultural life in Omsk.

Khlebnikov hosted literary-musical evenings and concerts in the house, attended by composer Vissarion Shebalin, singer Debora Pantofel-Nechetskaya, scientist and poet Pavel Dravert, poet Leonid Martynov and painter Nikolai Mamontov. Martynov later used the house in his novella of the same name in the book "Airborne Frigates".

The house is located on Pochtovaya Street and can be viewed from the outside, though interior access may not always be available. Check current visiting conditions before planning your visit, as the building requires ongoing restoration work due to its protected status.

The house appears in Leonid Martynov's novella of the same name in his book "Airborne Frigates". Martynov was among the guests at Khlebnikov's literary and musical evenings, alongside composer Vissarion Shebalin, singer D. Pantofel-Nechetskaya, scientist and poet P. L. Dravert and painter N. A. Mamontov.
