The Governor's House (Ukrainian: Будинок губернатора, romanized: Budynok hubernatora) is a 19th-century historical building in the city of Dnipro, Ukraine.
The structure is a two-story building with a mezzanine in the center,[5] and was designed using neo-Gothic architectural features inside and out.
A one-story service building was constructed in 1901 on Voskresenska Street to house the governor's guard.
But the start of World War I caused some revisions, and the decision to sell and construct a new structure was put off.
[5] This building had a slew of renamings following the October Revolution, with different owners taking it for over fifty years.
It was known as Ekaterinoslav Smolny during the revolution since here was the location of the Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies in December 1917.
A two-story addition was built on the right side of the avenue to accommodate the House of Pioneers, but was demolished in the early 1980s.
The buildings on the site's northwest and south-western borders were demolished during the fighting for the city's liberation.
The main building and the one-story structure that is linked to it on the street side did not sustain any serious damages.
[13] After a considerable amount of time, the municipal authorities could no longer stand the presence of rats and illnesses in the city center and soon started discussing the necessity of demolishing the structure.
[5] Subsequently, Dnepropetrovsk utilities took responsibility for the building since it was intended to house a Museum of Communal Services.
[3] The building's front is scheduled to be rebuilt for 16 million hryvnias, and architects have already finished developing the concept.
