Lanshin's revenue house was built in the Art Nouveau style between 1911-1913 under the supervision of architect V. Estrovich
⠀
One of the features of the building's facade is the horizontal floor articulation, which was typical of Art Nouveau. The windows had intricate patterns and small glazing in their upper sections, creating a decorative effect. The central attic was adorned with voluminous sculptures, including the god of trade Hermes.
The interior layout featured a double staircase and wrought metal fencing. The interiors were executed in stylistic unity with the exterior design. Original interior wooden doors designed by the author were preserved until the end of the 20th century.
⠀
In addition to the notary office of Oleksiy Apollonovych Lanshin, the building housed the Union of Credit Cooperatives of the Oleksandrivsky District, an ophthalmologist's office run by Dr. Walter Schmidt, and other institutions.
⠀
During the war years, the building was heavily damaged. During its restoration, the decorative elements, the attic, and dome were completely destroyed. Sculptural and ornamental elements from the facade and balcony fencing were removed. The stained glass, window and door units were completely replaced.
