John Hughes house, Manor house of British industrialist in Donetsk, Ukraine

The stone residence features a symmetrical facade with tall windows, central entrance, and ornate architectural details reflecting 19th-century European design elements.

The house belonged to John Hughes, a Welsh engineer who established ironworks in 1870 and founded the settlement that developed into modern-day Donetsk.

The building stands as a physical connection between Ukrainian industrial heritage and British engineering influence in Eastern Europe during the 19th century.

Located in central Donetsk, the structure maintains its original architectural features and serves as a reminder of the city's industrial foundations.

The residence represents the starting point of a settlement that grew from 100 Welsh workers to a major industrial center with 50,000 inhabitants.
