The Gubin Estate is an architectural complex from the mid-to-third-quarter of the 19th century located in the Historic Center of Nizhny Novgorod, at Minina Street and 10a. Both buildings of the complex are under state protection as cultural heritage objects of regional significance.[1]
Composition and Dating
The complex comprises two buildings. The main house (litera B) at Minin Street, 10 dates from the 1840s. It was built for the merchant widow Nesterova, who was the first known owner of the estate. The estate's second owner — first-guild merchant Alexey Gubin — was a prominent public figure in Nizhny Novgorod: he was elected city mayor twice and oversaw improvements to the city; during his tenure the city's first fire brigades, a maternity hospital, and a river police force came into being.[2][2] The outbuilding (litera A, A1) at Minin Street, 10a was erected later, in the 1870s. The architect is not identified in the protection documents for either building.[1]
Protected Status
Both buildings — the main house and the outbuilding — are under state protection as Monuments (category R) under documents numbered 471 and 329.[1] The estate is among the objects concentrated on Historic Buildings, including such landmarks as the house of Ye. Trusheninnikova (1851–1852), the Burmistrova house with its interior (1880s), and Mariinsky Institute for Noble Maidens (Nizhny Novgorod) (1858).[1]
