Baranova house, Regional cultural heritage building in Perm, Russia.

The Baranova House is a two-storey stone mansion at Petropavlovskaya Street 51 in Perm, built at the end of the 19th century for the merchant Maria Mikhailovna Baranova. Its ground floor held shops and workshops, while rooms on the upper floor were let out; in 1904 the whole troupe of A. A. Kravchenko's enterprise lodged there.

The two-storey stone house was built at the end of the 19th century for the merchant Maria Mikhailovna Baranova, who owned grocery and colonial-goods shops at the Chyorny market. She rented out the building: the Karavan tea and sugar company occupied it, shops and workshops filled the ground floor, and in 1904 the actors of A. A. Kravchenko's troupe lodged upstairs. On 9 July 1909 the "Modern" cinema, Perm's third, opened on the upper floor. After the October Revolution it housed a canteen, a tea administration and flats in 1925, a post office from 1926 to 1928, and in the 1930s the Stalin river-workers' club.

The building housed the Karavan partnership, which traded tea and sugar, while the ground floor held shops: L. Neisheller's galoshes and rubber goods, Sadriev's groceries and colonial goods, and D. V. Beloglazov's children's toys. Workshops also operated here, including G. A. Brovskikh's furriery, I. P. Yakimov's saddlery and A. A. Knyazev's bookbinding. In 1904 the rooms rented on the second floor lodged all the actors of A. A. Kravchenko's troupe.

The house is located in central Perm and can be reached on foot from the city center. As a protected building, it is viewable from the outside, and its position allows easy access for a brief visit.

In June 1909 the merchant A. I. Kudryashov and the townsman A. S. Ryakin asked the City Duma for permission to install a cinema on the upper floor. Permission was granted, and on 9 July 1909 the newspaper Permskiye gubernskiye novosti announced the opening of "Modern", Perm's third electric theatre, in the Baranova house.
