About the place

The profitable house of Leshchynsky is located at the intersection of Soborna Avenue and Troitska Street and has a rich history.

There were five revenue houses in Oleksandrivsk, among which the Leshchynsky building stood out significantly. It was a three-story building, while the others had only two floors. It was built in 1901 for the eldest of the city's Jewish community, Yakov Isaakovych Leshchynsky. Even today, we do not know the name of the architect who worked on the building.

Just four years after its construction, the house burned down completely. In 1908, it was restored according to the original project, but without some details. For example, they could not restore the balconies in the form of bay windows, clocks on the building's brackets, and the through passage to the courtyard.

On the first floor, Naum Tsfasman - the father of jazzman Alexander Tsfasman - worked in a hair salon. The local bohemia gathered for movie screenings at Pulavsky's cinema. The upper floors of the building were rented out as apartments. In one of them, Leonid Utyosov met his future wife, Olena Goldina.

In 2020, as part of the “City Code” program, the Leshchynsky building's advertising signs were removed, and the facade was painted in white and light orange colors.
