Tarasov Estate, Yekaterinburg, Regional cultural heritage estate in Yekaterinburg, Russia

Tarasov Estate is a complex in central Yekaterinburg at Gorky Street 21, now part of the Sverdlovsk Oblast governor's residence. Of the original estate, the two-storey main house, a one-storey south wing and a stone wall with gates survive. The main house was built in 1818–1821 in classicism, possibly with architect M. P. Malakhov, and later received eclectic detailing while keeping its original stylistic appearance.

The main house was built between 1818 and 1821 for Grigory Fyodorovich Zotov, a manager of the Verkh-Isetsk and Kyshtym mining districts, possibly with architect Mikhail Malakhov. After Zotov's exile, the Old Believer merchants Savva and Ivan Tarasov bought it in 1837; a police search in 1853 found a prayer room and Old Believer books, and the brothers were exiled until 1859. The estate stayed with the Tarasovs until the revolution.

The estate displays classical proportions and symmetrical design that define the appearance of central Yekaterinburg's residential blocks. Walking through the area today, you can observe how wealthy merchants of the 1800s chose to present themselves through their homes.

The estate is located in central Yekaterinburg and forms part of the urban fabric, making it easily accessible on foot. You can view the exterior and observe how the elevated position and surrounding buildings relate to one another.

The estate is not Ipatiev House, which stood elsewhere in Yekaterinburg. In 1910 the north wing housed the Society of Ural Mining Technicians, whose secretary V. M. Bykov was involved; the wing also served as a Bolshevik safe house. After 1917 the Tarasovs left and the building became the Teachers' House.
