Contracts House, Neoclassical building in Podil, Ukraine.

The Contracts House exhibits four Doric columns on its front façade and features a triangular roof design atop its two-story structure.

After the 1811 fire destroyed the original structure, architect Andrey Melensky supervised the construction of the new Contracts House between 1815 and 1817.

The building served as a meeting point for notable figures including writers Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, and poet Taras Shevchenko during the 19th century.

The Ukrainian Interbank Currency Exchange operates within the Contracts House, making it an important financial center in modern Kyiv.

The second floor contains a concert hall with a row of colonnades, while the eastern side displays Ionic columns on its portico.
