Volkov's House is a wooden Empire style building at Leningradskaya Street 28 in Vologda with traditional ornamental details. The two-story residential structure displays classic features of early Russian architecture with elaborate details on its facades.
The house was built in the 19th century as the residence of a major city official who modernized Vologda. Under his leadership between 1893 and 1917, the city received telephone systems and electric lighting.
The house became known for artistic activity when the owner's daughter taught art classes inside. This connection to art education shaped how local people view the building even today.
The building sits in a quiet residential area and now functions as a music school open to visitors. You can admire the distinctive wooden architecture from outside and experience the artistic use of the house.
The house received recognition as a federal cultural heritage site through a presidential decree, marking it as one of the region's finest Empire constructions. Its preservation reflects how deeply the architectural heritage of that era is valued in northern Russia.
