Description
The architectural monument of federal significance, located in Samara just across the road from Strukovskiy Garden, is the historic mansion that once belonged to Alexander Naumov, a leader of the Samara nobility and an honorary citizen of the city. The mansion was built in the Renaissance style with elements of Baroque and was completed in 1905.
Originally painted white, the mansion later acquired a pink hue, except for its gray facade. While the interior layouts underwent partial changes over time, the facade retained its original appearance.
After the 1917 revolution, the building housed various institutions such as the gubernia executive committee, the revolutionary committee, the city guard headquarters, and ultimately, the Pioneers Palace. During the Great Patriotic War, the building served as the Embassy of Great Britain, which was evacuated from Moscow to the city of Kuibyshev (now Samara).
Currently, the mansion is home to the Samara Palace of Children's and Youth Creativity, playing a vital role in the city's cultural life. The Naumov Mansion continues to be an important historical landmark and a symbol of Samara's rich cultural heritage.
