Verderevsky Mansion in Perm, mansion on Sibirskaya Street, Perm, Russia
The Verderevsky Mansion is a 19th-century complex in Perm consisting of a main residence, service buildings, and a carriage house enclosed by protective walls. The structures display a blend of design styles that reflect the prosperous living standards of that era.
The mansion was built by Vasily Verderevsky, chairman of the treasury chamber, on the site of a wooden house and garden destroyed in the 1842 fire. In 1853 he sold it to the Protopopov family, owners of the Gubakha and Kizel mines. After the revolution it housed a railway college dormitory, and since the early 1990s it has been the Perm branch of Transkapitalbank.
The building's names recall its past: Verderevsky after the first owner, Protopopov after the family that bought it in 1853, and Central Rooms after the hotel once housed here. From the late 1840s a popular tavern, the Slavic Bazaar, offered live music and guest rooms; later restaurants operated under various names.
The mansion stands at 2 Sibirskaya Street, on the bank of the Kama in Perm's historic centre. It is a two-storey building, now occupied by the Perm branch of Transkapitalbank, so visitors see the restored facades and carved wooden balcony awnings from outside. The 1992-1995 restoration was carried out by the Yashin and Partners firm.
In January 1928 Vladimir Mayakovsky stayed one night at the Zarya hotel in this building, then moved to hotel No. 1 because the Zarya had no billiard table, a game he liked to play. From 1909 the owner was V. D. Vetoshkin, whose steamer Maximilian ran between Perm and Verkhnyaya Kuria.
