HISTORY

  • Professor Rosenfeld bought the site for construction in 1912

Rosenfeld House is an architectural monument of the early twentieth century, located in the quiet center of Kharkov. The house is located on Marshal Bazhanov Street, which was named in 1975 in honor of the Soviet military leader. Prior to that, the street was called Chornohlazivska, and the first mention of it dates back to 1804.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, Kharkiv began to develop actively, so there was a growing need for tenement houses, which were built specifically for renting apartments. One of them was a house on Chornohlazivska Street, built to order by pharmacist Lazar Rosenfeld.
Professor Rosenfeld bought the site for construction in 1912 and commissioned construction engineer Mykola Kolodyazhny to design a new apartment building. The project of a four-storey house with basement and attic floors was completed by the autumn of 1912.
