History
The building was erected in the late 19th century as a revenue house.[2] Its owners were the Rostov merchant Yefim Yakovlevich Kostin and his wife Domna Ivanovna Kostina. They also owned an oil mill in a building next to the Kostin House. By resolution № 411 of the Rostov Oblast Administration on 9 October 1998 the house was designated an object of cultural heritage of regional significance.[3] In the 2000s the building was restored. The ground floor is currently occupied by shops and a restaurant.[4]
Description
The Kostin House was built in the Russian Revival style. The facade is rusticated, and decorated with lesenes, horizontal cornices above rectangular windows and a blind arch above the only round window. A cornice above small corbels crowns the top of the building.[5]
