Photo and description

One of the historical architectural "highlights" of Dnepropetrovsk is the so-called "House of Khrennikov", built in 1913 at the corner of Yekaterininsky Avenue (now Karl Marx Avenue) and Pervozvanovskaya Street (now Korolenko street) designed by engineer Vladimir Khrennikov, who built a tenement house on the site of his own house. The four-storey building combined two styles: Ukrainian Baroque and Art Nouveau, shocked contemporaries by the novelty of the solution and the scale of construction.

A theater hall was opened in V. Khrennikov's house, where the Palace cinema was located. Soon a number of shops began their work in the apartment building: N.N. Beketov, F.P. Dedikov, the shop of the shopping center "Shlapakovy and Co" and many others. After the revolution, the building housed the Art Museum and the Theater of the Young Spectator, and during the war - the officers' casino. In the 30s, the city “Teacher's House” was located in the former “House of Khrennikov”.

During the occupation of the city, the House of Khrennikov was burnt down by the Nazis, but in the 50s it was restored. The subsequent restoration made the appearance of the house a little more modest, and the multi-tiered roofs of the house also disappeared. Also in the foundation of the building was found a silver foundation board, this find was transferred to the historical Dnepropetrovsk Museum. In the post-war period, a restaurant and hotel "Ukraine" were located in the building. But even the accomplished innovations did not delete "Khrennikov's House" from the list of the main attractions of Dnepropetrovsk, causing admiration of the artists who still paint it and sell pictures on the boulevard opposite.
