Description
In 1832, under the leadership of the military governor of Orenburg, P.P. Sukhtelen, a project for the building complex of the House of the Military Governor was developed. Its author was the talented architect Heinrich Gopius, who completed the project after graduating from the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts in 1818. Since December 3, 1831, Gopius held the position of architect of the Ural Cossack army. His works also include the building of the Control Chamber, today known as the Orenburg Governor's Museum of History and Local Lore.
According to the description of the historian P. N. Stolpyansky at the beginning of the 20th century, the former palace of the governors general was a majestic structure. Inside the building on the ground floor there was an entrance vestibule with a front door and two service staircases, as well as a suite of chambers. On the second floor there was a hall with six windows and a door leading to a large balcony, a living room, a dining room with a buffet and dinnerware. From the living room there was access to a large office with six windows and a bay window, located in the southwest corner of the building. Balls and dinner parties were also held here.
With the arrival of the military governor V.A. Perovsky, the design of the House of the Military Governor was reworked and approved in 1836. After the project was approved, construction began and was completed in 1840. In the second half of the 19th century, side wings were added to the building. However, during the Soviet period, reconstruction work was carried out, which led to significant changes and loss of historical elements. For example, in the 1940s, the octagonal turret with a dome and terrace was destroyed, and in the 1950s, the portico-terrace and corner bay window were demolished. Changes also affected the internal layout of the building, where additional partitions were installed.
The former service building and the former stables building, which are part of the Governor General's House complex, also underwent changes during the Soviet period. In 1920-1925, government bodies were located in the former palace of governors, and then the building was adapted for educational institutions.
