Pushkins'ka 94
Mansion of the merchant of the 1st guild Semyon Tolkachev (also called Salve House because of the inscription on the pediment) is a small but nice mansion built in 1910 according to the project of the architect (owner's brother) Tolkacheva in neoclassical style.
Owner question
Some sources indicate that the house was built for Dr. [1] R. Frenkel, according to others -kotorom-ostanavlivalsa-stalin-istoria-osobnaka-v-centre-harkova-foto for Dr. Semyon Frenkel. No documents are known to support this version.
Most likely, the confusion arose due to the fact that Tolkachev previously also owned a house at Pushkinskaya 100, which in 1913 he donated to a children's bone tuberculosis hospital. Perhaps, one of the Kharkov doctors named Frenkel (Mikhail Abramovich Frenkel or Iosif Abramovich Frenkel) later worked in it.
History
In the period from December 1919 to August 1920, for about a month, with interruptions, he lived in the house at 94 Pushkinskaya Street I.V. Stalin. At this time, he led the fighting of the Southern Front. After Stalin visited the mansion, the poet Boris Bezdomny wrote a poem about him:
On the street of the great poet,
In a one-story house, at one o'clock at night,
The great strategist sat until dawn,
Leaning in silence over the front-line map.
Currently, the house is a kindergarten number 66.
Behind the scenes
In this house Khlebnikov predicted Stalin his whole fate. Stalin called him a "tramp in pajamas" and went to the famous astrologer. The astrologer confirmed everything. After that, Stalin changed his year of birth from the year of the tiger to the year of the cat.
