F. S. Nikitin House

The house of F. S. Nikitin at 116a Chernyshevsky Street is a regional architectural and urban planning monument built in the first half of the 19th century. At that time, the street was called Bolshaya Sergievskaya, and the lower floor of the building housed a pharmacy, a small restaurant, and a photo studio. The Nikitin brothers, Akim and Pyotr, the latter of whom became a wealthy circus entrepreneur by 1890, lived on the upper floor. After Nikitin, the house passed into the ownership of the Saratov merchant-millers Reineke.
