Shenderov House, Regional heritage house at Voroshilovsky Avenue, Rostov-on-Don, Russia

Shenderov House is a two-storey building on Voroshilovsky Avenue, U-shaped in plan, with its main facade facing the avenue and side wings on Serafimovich and Temernitskaya streets. The central section and corner parts are crowned by rectangular attics with tent roofs. The ground floor is finished with rustication, and the windows are decorated with moulded female heads, herms, garlands, wreaths and plant ornament. Projecting bays (erkers) mark the vertical divisions of the upper floor.

Built at the end of the 19th century to a design by Rostov architect Nikolay Sokolov, the house belonged to second-guild merchant Solomon Izrailievich Shenderov. After nationalization it held trade organizations and communal flats. Its central tent roof was lost in the Great Patriotic War; architects M. Ishunin and G. Petrov restored the building in the 1950s, adding new extensions. A mid-2000s reconstruction recreated the tent roof in its original form.

The house displays Russian Terem style elements with distinctive attic structures topping its central and side portions. Visitors walking past can clearly see these decorative architectural details that reflect local building traditions of the period.

The house sits on Voroshilovsky Avenue and is easily visible from the street to admire its exterior features. Interior access is limited since the ground floor operates as commercial space, so a walk past to view the architecture is the best way to experience it.

The central tent roof was lost during the Great Patriotic War and only rebuilt in the mid-2000s reconstruction, which returned it to its original form. The 1950s restoration by architects M. Ishunin and G. Petrov had added new extensions instead. Since then the building has housed an Alfa-Bank branch.
