Photo and description

The mansion on Aleksandrovskaya Street (now M. Gorky Street) was first mentioned in the 1870s, when Sofia Mikhailovna Niedenthal, a colonist from Kamyshinsky district, became the home owner of a beautiful eclectic building. The hostess began to lease the two-story house and one-story outbuilding that existed here, leaving part of the premises for housing.

In 1891, the first gramophone in Saratov was demonstrated in the Niedenthal house. In 1905, a tenant, a nobleman Maximilian Aleksandrovich Karpov, who is engaged in the tobacco trade in the Saratov province, buys the building from Sofia Mikhailovna. In 1913, the new owner of the mansion built two wooden outbuildings with solid firewalls on the adjacent territory, having added a spacious household with a living quarters (attorney A.M. Maslennikov, a future deputy of the State Duma, placed his office in one of them).

In the 1950s (already under Soviet rule), a major reconstruction of the building was carried out - it was combined with a one-storey outbuilding and a third storey superstructure. The reconstruction project was made by the architect Yu.V. Vasilyanskiy. At the same time, the street facade was decorated with elements of classical architecture. The portico was decorated with four pairwise connected columns of the Corinthian order, stretching over two floors. Thus, the former Niedenthal house turned out to be part of the overall composition with the neighboring house and became a monument of "Stalinist" architecture.

Since then and up to our time, this solid and spacious building houses the district clinic.
