Apartment house Bostrikinyh, Revenue house in Rostov-on-Don, Russia
The Bostrikiny House is a three-storey revenue house at 106 Pushkinskaya Street, built in 1914 to a design by civil engineer Semyon Vasilyevich Polipin. Its symmetrical Art Nouveau facade, with elements of classicism and irrationalism, has a rusticated ground floor, balconies with cast-iron railings on the upper floors, and a curved attic above the cornice.
Built in 1914 for Ivan and Anna Bostrikin to a design by civil engineer Semyon Vasilyevich Polipin, the revenue house was nationalized in the early 1920s and divided into communal apartments. Sberbank acquired the building in 1997, carried out major repairs and restoration after the tenants were rehoused, and installed its branch there.
The building's name recalls Ivan and Anna Bostrikin, who commissioned it in 1914 as a revenue house, renting out flats and space on the ground floor. Nationalized in the 1920s, it was divided into communal apartments until Sberbank took it over in 1997 and restored it for a bank branch.
The Bostrikiny House stands on the red line of Pushkinskaya Street at number 106, in the Kirovsky City District of Rostov-on-Don. Sberbank offices occupy all three floors, so the facade is best viewed from the pavement outside rather than from within.
The building's colour scheme was chosen during the 1997 restoration to match its architectural style. Sberbank, which took over the house that year, occupies all three floors after the communal tenants were rehoused.
