Mansion A. P. Petrov
Description:
The history of this building is very unusual. Initially, the project of the mansion was ordered by the famous Rostov merchant Apollo Dombrowski. The construction of the house by the famous architect Doroshenko was completed in 1898, when Dombrovskiy had already gone bankrupt and sold the building for debts.
The mansion passed into the possession of the Board of the Vladikavkaz railway, which transferred the building to the property of a little-known lawyer Apollo Petrov as a reward for winning lawsuits in their favor.
The pompous mansion was made in an original architectural solution, by mixing Baroque, Classicism and Renaissance styles. Currently, the building houses the Rostov Regional Museum of Fine Arts.
