Niyazi (former Sadovaya), divided into two floors by a stylobate along the entire body, has three axes, emphasized by shallow risalits [3] . The mansion was given solemnity by well-drawn classical elements, plastic means ( porticoes ) against the background of rustication .
The von der Nonne building is considered the first attempt at a three-dimensional solution of a residential building by using porticoes on the main facade. The interior is decorated with classic motifs featuring Venetian mirrors and semicircular arches. The walls are divided into panels [1] .
