Photo and description

The house was built in 1890 at the intersection of st. Nikolskaya (now Radishchev street) and Malaya Sergievskaya (now Michurin street) under the guidance of the architect A.M. Salko for the entrepreneur Pyotr Schmidt.

The Schmidt family at that time was the main flour producer in Saratov and the entire Volga region ... Two brothers were especially distinguished by their business qualities; Peter and Andrey Schmidt. Through their efforts, grain warehouses were built from stone on Bolshaya Sergievskaya (now Chernyshevskaya), in 1879 a steam mill was put into operation at Kabanovskiy Vzvoz (later called Shmitovskiy Vzvoz). In our time, warehouses are still used by & nbsp; - for a long time they housed the Lixar plant, and on the site of the mill there is a new building of the Academy of Law.

The estate of Peter Schmidt stood on the rise of the street and was an integral landmark of old Saratov. Among the wooden shacks and common buildings, the building looked like a palace mansion. One facade - with a balcony and a loggia - faced the Volga, the other, with a figured attic, was considered a ceremonial one. The corner bay window made the mansion unique and emphasized the style of the well-known Saratov architect Salko. The interior decoration was democratic and comfortable.

Only the mansion has survived to this day, the area in front of the house now belongs to the Saratov College of Finance and Technology. From 1918 to 2011, the building housed the "House of Knowledge and Enlightenment", now it houses the creative club "Constellation".

The P.P. Schmidt House is an architectural monument of the late nineteenth century and is protected by the state.
