Sevastyanov House is one of the most impressive, bright and memorable buildings in Yekaterinburg. By the festivity of its appearance, this palace even overtakes the old passenger railway station. The palace was built in the early 19th century. and as he did not, he has no equal in the whole Urals. This mighty and impressive building could be called neo-Gothic, if not for the gingerbread coloring, green-white-red.
Sevastyanov's first house was built before 1817, although later, apparently, was completed by . @ It was distinguished by a unique for the city detail: a semi-circular arched rotunda at the corner . At the top of the building was a pediment with tympanum, which, alas, has not reached our days . In the second half of 19 at . the house moved to a new owner, who decided to reconstruct it to his liking, imposing on the base in the style of classicism abundant Baroque Gothic decorations . The present view of the palace is by no means over: according to the plan there should have been another balcony, belvedere and loggia .
Once again, the building was remade at the end of 19 at ., when it became the property of the city, and the District Court was moved to the palace . Subsequently, both under the Soviet and perestroika authorities, the house was washed differently, but in 2008 . it was decided to return to him, as far as possible, the original look . After the restoration and overhaul it shone with the former color scheme and was fenced with a lattice . Today the palace is one of the cultural monuments of federal significance . B It is the Ekaterinburg residence of President R F, so now the interior decoration at the house is appropriate; but you can not see it with your own eyes from ordinary mortals .
About Sevastyanov, the very owner, when the house got its splendor, there were different bikes. Some of them are still being repeated. For example, that in fact a collegiate assessor lived in a modest house opposite the palace in order to be able to constantly admire it from the outside. However, it is more likely that Sevastyanov did so not for aesthetic reasons, but to be able to rent out the palace.
