Originally, the house was opened Soviet party school, where he was a teacher of Alexander Dovzhenko. During the civil war in 1920 there for a short time housed the headquarters of the first cavalry Budennogo. Later the house was open school - school No. 22. But most people visited him when in the building of a notary in the mid 70-ies was the Registrar. In Soviet times, the house had planned to build from the back, however, with the collapse of the USSR, the construction stopped.
