The three-story stone house on the corner of Minin and Pozharsky Square and the Verkhne-Volzhskaya Embankment is the educational building No. 1 of the Volga Region Research Medical University – a cultural heritage site of regional significance
The building was constructed at the beginning of the 20th century according to the design of the brothers A.A., V.A. and L.A. Vesnin. The construction was supervised by the architect A.N. Poltanov.
The main façade of the building, facing the square, is decorated with a six-column portico and Ionic pilasters.
The rounded corner has four similar columns, above which rises the dome of the rotunda. At the floor level, the corner is surrounded by a balcony.
