History
Originally the plot under the modern building under the house number 26 on Kontorskaya Street belonged to Ensign Gregory Topchiev, who built a trading bath. In 1778 a wooden house was built, several outbuildings and a separate kitchen building. After 25 years, the heirs of the Traitor sold this plot to tradesman Dmitry Stepanovich Shatunov. Shatunov destroyed the old premises and built a two-story stone house and stone services, and in the courtyard a barn and a stable [3] .
Initially, the building was numbered as № 20 and 22. In the early 1880s the building received the number 24, and in 1883 received its current number 26 [3] .
After the death of Dmitry Shatunov, in 1879, the plot was inherited by his wife, Anna Dmitrievna Shatunova. Later, the owners were her daughters Nadezhda and Natalya. In 1901, the owner of the buildings was Lieutenant Ivan Pavlovich Kharinsky [1] . Up until the sale of the house in 1902, they rented part of the premises of the house. Merchant Ivan Fedoseevich Romanenko became the new owner, who demolished part of the buildings and built a modern apartment house of 8 apartments in 1907 [3] . The architect of the building was Valentin Feldman [1] .
Around 1913, industrialist Boris Vladimirovich Shapara became the owner of the house [1] . In the spring of 1919, the Bolsheviks who came to power nationalized this house, and Shapara emigrated to Belgium. In the 1920s, the building belonged to Ukrainradio and was part of housing cooperative No. 32 [3] .
Currently the building is divided into communal apartments [4] [5] . In the basement of the house there is a sewing workshop [6] .
