History
For the first time, Popov’s house was mentioned on November 20, 1784, when a document of the Perm governorate made a record of the Perm provincial land surveyor Gruber about giving the 2nd guild merchant Pyotr Abramovich Popov a plot on the embankment with a plan of the place and a drawing of the facade of the house. The house itself was erected in 1787, presumably according to the project of Perm architect G.H. Paulsen.
The merchant P.A. Popov enjoyed authority in Perm and was twice elected for a four-year term by the mayor - in 1790 and 1805. After his death in 1807, his relatives took over the house. So, in 1812, the owner of the house was Ivan Nikolaevich Popov, a smart and good-natured merchant who went bankrupt, and the house was his main capital. In the house of I.N. Popov in 1812, the Russian public and statesman Mikhail Speransky lived for three weeks, who arrived in Perm in a two-year exile.
Then, the Perm farmer I.S. Daneikovich lived in the house of Popovs, after him the farmer I.O. Shemiot. A large orchard was laid out next to the house.
The house was badly damaged during a strong Perm fire in 1842 and was acquired by the Ural enlightener and public figure Mikhail Gavriilovich Sapozhnikov. He restored the appearance of the house to a modern state. Subsequently, he profitably ceded the house to the Perm postal and telegraph office, which had been working here for more than fifty years. For some time, the future writer Fedor Reshetnikov lived in one of the rooms of the office in the apartment of his uncle the postman.
In the mid-1920s the building passed from the postal and telegraph office to the Kama River Shipping Company. In 1938, the head of the political department of the shipping company and armed guards were housed in the house, and in 1949, the shipping company supply department. In 1970-1980 Permuglesbyt and Zapuralkomplektoborudovaniye offices were located in this building. There are currently private firms in the house.
The memorial plaque on the wall of the house reminds of living in Popov’s house M. M. Speransky.
