Description of the sight
The house with chimeras is an architectural monument in Kharkiv, designed in Art Nouveau style with some elements of English Gothic. Architects - V.N. Pokrovsky and P.V. Velichko. The sculptural elements of the house, in addition to chimeras, knightly coats of arms, salamanders and wolves, also include the heads of V.N. Pokrovsky and his assistant P.V. Velichko. The sculptures of the architects, as everyone can see, look out from under the balcony on the second floor. Initially, V.N. Pokrovsky held a pen in his left hand to write something in the book he holds in his right hand. During the restoration of 1990-2003, this writing object was broken off, and in the 2000s, students mischievously put a cigarette in place of the pen. At the level of the 4th floor, to the right and left of the central part of the house, a pair of sculptures of bent humanoid creatures, created in 1914, are visible, which support the vertical columns of the facade.
