The House of Soviets (Russian: Дом Советов, Dom Sovetov) is an administrative building in the centre of Rostov-on-Don built in Stalinist style in the late 1930s.
It was initially planned that the building would have 1000 rooms, a conference hall, canteens, a post office, a hairdresser, buffets, a printing house and other services.
The facades lost the tape glazing - it was simply bricked up, the wall field was embossed, a heavy portal was installed above the main entrance to the building on huge rectangular pilasters.
In the post-war period, taking advantage of the city's lack of funds, the Ministry of Defence proposed that the House of Soviets be rebuilt and completed by German prisoners of war, under the condition of alienating 80% of the usable area.
Only the final two wings of the House of Soviets, facing Bolshaya Sadovaya Street, and the central portion are occupied by the administration of Rostov Oblast.
