Description
A three-floored brick house on Bolshaya Sadovaya Street in Rostov-on-Don (KV Charakhchants' apartment house) was built at the beginning of the 20th century. In the center of the building, above the front entrance and at the sides, the balconies were arranged. The building was decorated with stucco molding, crowning cornice, pilasters, acroteria and bas-reliefs. Originally the third floor of the building was occupied by the hotel. There was also a cafe-theater "Mars", previously the theater was called "Palais de Cristal", and there were shops on the first floor.

Later the cafe was leased to the "labor association of the Tatars", in which I. N. Khaybegov, A. Kh. Dimakayev and K. I. Bikeyev took membership. Every evening in the house concerts were given, meetings of Rostov musicians were held.

In February of 1917 the building became the center of revolutionary events. After the February Revolution, there was the Rostov-Nakhichevan Soviet of Workers' Deputies, and then - the Military Revolutionary Committee. In November of 1917 there were headquarters of the armed uprising against the Don government of the ataman Kaledin, who did not recognize the October Revolution, declared the Don on a martial law and forbade the export of bread and coal to the central regions of Russia.

In 1927 there was a club of metalworkers in the building. Since 1935, the building housed the Rostov Philharmonic.

In 1976-1978, after the reconstruction by the architects N.A. Sergeev and V.A. Korolev, the building received a modern look.
