The house in the Art Nouveau style was built by the architect B.I. Girshovich in 1905 commissioned by Julian Borisovich Buck (1860-1908) - engineer of communications, a prominent public figure, founder and publisher of the newspaper "Rech". In the architecture of the house there are many elements of rococoal and forged gratings, monograms, curls. The basement of the building to the level of the second floor is faced with pink granite. The front part and the back building of the house are connected by hanging galleries, passing in the courtyard-well at the level of the second and fifth floors. In the interior, the style is supported by forged handrails of marble staircases, stained-glass windows in the windows of the parade, stucco molding on the ceilings in the apartments. Until the mid-twentieth century, there was an elevator in the house with patterned metal bars. The apartments included up to ten spacious rooms: a living room with a fireplace, bedrooms, utility rooms, etc. Luxurious decoration attracted wealthy citizens - hereditary servicemen, officials, statesmen. After 1917, the apartments became communal, the layout of the living quarters was changed. In 2001, the house of Yu. B. Buck was included in the "List of newly identified objects of historical, scientific, artistic or other cultural value". Address: st. Kirochnaya, 24 .
