This gorgeous carved house was known for being tenanted from September 1913 until April 1914 by a Frenchman - Moisei Vlasovych Shambon who moved to Chernihiv from Russia with his wife and three daughters. Shambon taught French at the Chernihiv Realschule, i.e. a kind of a secondary school, having held the same post in St. Peterburg, previously.
Built in 1913, the house was brand new when Moisei Vlasovych moved in here. At that time, its facade or the front of the building was facing Piatnytska Street, which is hard to believe looking at this mangled part of the house today. A century ago, it had five windows decorated with charming wooden lace and a porch. Only one window out of those five preserved its original appearance. The main porch hasn't survived, as well. Fortunately, you can still behold the house's former beauty where it faces Sofia Rusova street. Here, on its north side, the building is preserved much better. From the yard, more precisely on its south side, the house could boast a beautifully designed veranda which wasn’t destined to live to our time.
According to its present-day inhabitants, for the most part of the 20th century the house was home to Olena Horielaia - a daughter of the first owner, whose name is still to be determined. Allegedly, she possessed the original house documents from 1913.
Despite the fact that Shambon resided in Chernihiv for just a few years, until 1921, he managed to make a significant contribution to future investigations of Chernihiv's old appearance. Point is that Moisei Vlasovych was into photography and has created one of the biggest picture collections of our city of the early 20th century. In his photographs he captured the daily life of his family and friends, panoramic views of the city, its streets, squares, as well as revolutionary events.
Precisely because of the revolutionary events Shambon had to return to France taking his photo album along. After Moisei Shambon's death the photo album remain in his family. After establishing contact with Shambon’s descendants who still live in France, historians managed to obtain electronic copies of those pictures. At present, the latter can be seen at the Chernihiv Historical Museum.

Manor house of Vasyl Spanovskyi, a representative of a Polish noble family of Spanovskyi who took the citizenship of the Russian Empire and stayed in Chernihiv and Podillia provinces after the partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the end of the 18th century.
In 1911, Vasyl Spanovskyi bought this land plot from Fedir Andriyevych Lyzohub and in the next two years built a house on it. In addition to it, there was a shed with a carriage house, an ice house, a vegetable garden and a large orchard.
The house has an enfilade-type of planning with the most important rooms located along its main axis: a living room from the side of the street and a dining room from the side of the orchard. The dining room used to unfold into a spacious veranda, which was typical for buildings of the end of the 19th century. The house boasts a rich ornate finishing where different styles, such as Baroque, classical and folk, are interwoven with Art Nouveau.
Until recently, this building has housed an office of one of the religious organizations, but now that the tenants are gone, it is not used.

Although the date ofconstruction of this house on Chernyshevskoho street (at that time,Voskresenska street) remains under wraps, it is known that at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries Josef-Franz or Yosyp Frantsevych Sikorskyi,who probably was the first owner of the manor, lived here. A descendant fromthe Kingdom of Poland, a state councilor Yosyp Sikorskyi held the post of theattending physician of Chernihiv theological seminary for more than 20 yearsleaving the position only after 1894. After his death in the summer of 1906, thehouse was inherited by his son Viacheslav Sikorskyi. The father of the newowner was buried at the Petropavlivsk cemetery next to wife.

This house was owned by Ivan Mykhailovych (in other sources Matviyovych) Yakubovych, a talented engineer and architect well known for his works: an eye-catching building of the Public School in the colors of Krolevets embroidered towels (now Chernihiv City Polyclinic No.1) and the former Municipal College on Gogol Str., where the Institute of Postgraduate Education is located, today.
The Yakubovych manor house is unique. There is no building in the city that is more complicated in terms of the engineering design of the window trimmers and shutters. Unfortunately, three windows with beautiful carved roosters in the pediments and a part of the cornice are all that remained from that uniqueness.

This luxuriously decorated house was erected around 1878 and is known to every Chernihiv local. Although there is no documented information about its first residents, the list of Chernihiv city house owners from 1908 states that it was owned by a priest's wife Yevlampiya Mytkevych. Andriy Karnabeda, a famous local historian and architect, wrote that according to an oldtimer Lozovskyi, this house alongside a group of later demolished neighboring buildings was owned by priest Mytkevych, a relative of Leonid Mytkevych, a well known local artist and teacher. “Still, this estate could also belong to Mykhailo Mytkevych, whose son worked in the Department of Land Management of the Regional Executive Committee before World War II”.
According to Karnabeda, the surviving house used to be a part of a former housing estate, which also included a similar in size and composition house No. 14. This other house was located to the east of No. 12. There also used to be an individual wing in between the two.
The architectural complex survived until the beginning of the Second World War, but in August 1941 the wing burned down as a result of German bombings. After the war the houses were used differently. House No.12 functioned as a kindergarten well until 1984, when it was handed over to the Chernihiv Regional Artists Organization. House No.14 remained residential for several more decades and was later demolished.
Fortunately, house No.12 survived to this day. In 2013 it was restored and transformed into a restaurant. Today, it is one of the few wooden estates of Chernihiv, which are in good condition.

Although its first inhabitants are unknown, historiansassume that one of the first owners of this manor could be MykhailoOleksandrovych Moliavko, who according to the documents resided on Siverianskastreet, today’s Kotsiubynskoho street. The relation of Mykhailo Moliavko tothis exact house is deduced from the words of the street’s elderly residentswho remembered his last name when talking about the old owner of this house.Besides, it remains a mystery whether it was him or somebody else who built thehouse.
Mykhailo Moliavko was the General councilor of both theChernihiv governorate and district territorial assemblies, as a nobleman – adeputy of the Chernihiv governorate nobility assembly; he came from a wealthyCossack family known from the middle of the XVII century.
Even though the exact construction date remains unknown, theperiod within which the house was erected can be easily traced from the historyof origination of this architectural style and its appearance in our part ofthe world. The house was built in the style of Vienna Secession – a form ofJugendstil which emerged in Austria on the verge of the XIX and the XXcenturies. This style pilgrimized from Western Ukraine to Chernihiv at thebeginning of the XX century.
Mykhailo Moliavko left Chernihiv in 1917, which was followedby the expropriation of the house by the government. For some time, thebuilding remained residential; however, later it started to be used by variousSoviet institutions. During the war, it served as an establishment for entertainmentand rest of Wehrmacht officers, and after the war transformed into a localoffice of the Communist Youth Union. Today, Communal Enterprise“Chernihivoblagrolis” is located here.
The house is abundantly decorated with curvy elements.According to the general idea of the architect, an unusual window geometry, aswell as the presence of smooth circular elements should trigger the associationwith the curves of a female body. This is what makes the Vienna Secession standout sharply among other examples of modern architecture.
The house has a complicated asymmetrical composition withseveral entrances. The central entrance is designed with romantic motives,among other things, with a stylized harp. Its twisted astragal is adorned witha well-made woman’s portrait – an image of goddess Vesta, the guardian ofhearth and eternal beauty. The porch is decorated with a forged laced roofingand has preserved the original Mettlach tile of a Kharkiv-based company ofBergenheim. You can still see a hundred-year-old letter plate in the door.
Special attention should be paid to the attic floor with abalcony and a trapezium-shaped roof covered with the so-called “fish scale” – afigured roof tile popular at that time. The mansard has several interestingroof windows. The balcony, damaged in the course of time, was renovated inaccordance with a project of Andrii Karnabida. All window and door panels,banisters and other decorative elements are original. Lost details of the manorinclude a garden and a fountain which as recalled was situated in the backyard.
