Photo and description

In 1903, the new governor P.A. Stolypin arrived in Saratov and purchased the unfinished house of the flour miller Reineke as a provincial residence. The project of completion at the corner of Volskaya and Malaya Sergievskaya (now Michurin) streets, Peter Arkadievich entrusted the famous Saratov architect - A. Klimenko.

By mid-1904, the Stolypin family moved into the building of the provincial residence. On the first floor there were residential apartments, and on the second there was a reception room, several offices and a stylishly decorated mirrored hall for receptions. Simultaneously with the end of the construction of the residence, architects D.F. Sterligov and A.N. Klimenko began the project of the neighboring building - the provincial chancellery.

Two buildings in the neoclassical style form a single architectural ensemble. Five Saratov governors worked and lived in the provincial residence: P.A. Stolypin, S.S. Tatishchev, P.A.Stremoukhov, A.A. Shirinsky-Shikhmatov and S.D. Tverskoy.

Soon after the October Revolution, the building was occupied by the Executive Committee headed by V.P. Antonov-Saratovsky, and the rapidly growing bureaucracy, no longer able to fit in the governor's apartments, soon moved to another building.

In the 1930s, the office building was occupied by a polyclinic for party workers, and the governor's residence was occupied by a tuberculosis institute.

Now, in the complex of buildings with signs "Monument of architecture" there is an ordinary polyclinic (in the office) and, besieged by organizations for the protection of architectural heritage, the regional tuberculosis dispensary (in the residence of the governors).
