Today the family of Alexei Prokopchik lives in the house. His ancestors moved to Kazan in the 1930s, and Alexei’s great-grand grandfather headed the Agricultural Bank.

The residential building from the late 19th century.

Many citizens of Kazan were worried about house`s fate. It seemed like it was about to collapse.

It is the case when the property owners fought for their house. During the demolition of the dilapidated housing in the historical center the owners proved the reliability of the house. They protected it from arsons, refused to be evicted, and defended the house wh ere their ancestors lived. It was difficult for the owners to restore some of the carving details and paint the whole house on their own.

House of Augusta  Zante. Beginning of the 20th century.

The house with elements of Art Nouveau has attracted the attention of activists of the Monument Protection Society for a long time. Residents of this house are one of those heroes of old Kazan who guarded their houses from the dilapidated housing program and refused to move to new buildings.

Since high-rise buildings were built next to the house, the courtyard and annex with a staircase to the second floor were in flooded lowland zone during rainfall period. Tom Sawyer Fest partners solved the problem by reconstructing the annex on a high foundation.
