In Kazan, plans are underway to include an old mansion on Narimanova Street in the state register of cultural heritage sites. This is outlined in the act of the state historical and cultural expert examination, posted on the website of the Republic of Tatarstan’s Committee for the Protection of Cultural Heritage.

The two-story stone building was constructed at the beginning of the 20th century for Kazan merchant Muhammed-Sadyk Gaisich Musin. In 1917, the house was transferred to the city’s ownership, and a children’s clinic was established there. The mansion served the people of Kazan in this capacity until 2017, when a fire occurred. In 2019, the building at 56 Narimanova Street was sold, and restoration work began.

To date, historically significant elements of the building have been preserved—authentic brick walls, vaulted ceilings of the “Monier” type, and concrete stairs with marble chips. The interiors still feature the vestibule decoration of the main staircase on the first and second floors, ceilings and upper wall sections decorated with stucco featuring a floral motif, some stoves, and window frames.

According to the expert’s conclusion, the mansion is of interest as a well-preserved traditional example of an urban estate from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, possessing historical, architectural, urban planning, and cultural value.
