The mansion of A.P. Selivanov

According to archival documents, the stone house has a complex construction history, and most likely, it was originally built in the 80s of the XVIII century and is one of the oldest civil buildings in the city.

In 1891, Alexander Petrovich Selivanov, a well-known merchant in the city, acquired the building.

The Selivanov family lived on Rostov land since the middle of the XVIII century, and it was one of the most famous and honorable Rostov surnames among entrepreneurs, industrialists and wealthy merchants of its time. In 1901, after the death of Alexander Selivanov, the house passed to his son Pavel Selivanov, under whom, in 1909, the mansion was rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style, acquiring the appearance that has largely survived to our time.

After the 1917 revolution, the Selivanovs' enterprises were nationalized and their property was confiscated, including the still-operating coffee factory and this magnificent mansion. In Soviet times, the large rooms on the second floor were partitioned off into a number of small communal apartments. Subsequently, the building lost the rich decoration of its interiors, the luxurious stained glass windows, tiled fireplaces, door handles and other rich interior decoration of the house were lost. However, the exterior of the building still retained its basic features.

In 2005, the building of the merchant house of the Selivanov dynasty was bought by a private investor already in poor condition. As a result of his reconstruction, the building was restored to its original appearance, part of the original forging inside the building and the main staircase were saved. Currently, the Selivanov hotel-restaurant is operating in the mansion, its luxurious interiors have been recreated in the Art Nouveau style and delight with their elegant decorations, the atmosphere of cordiality and hospitality of numerous guests of the city.
