General information about House of the Weeping Widow (Arshavsky Mansion) (Kyiv)

The Art Nouveau mansion was built in 1907 by architect Eduard-Ferdinand Bradtman by order of Serhiy Arshavsky, a Poltava merchant of the 2nd guild.

In 1918, the building was nationalized, and to this day it houses government structures.

The facade is decorated with a sad female face, which drips water during the rain, and it seems that the mask is crying. Hence the popular name of the mansion.

Особняк у стилі модерн був збудований у 1907 році архітектором Едуардом-Фердинандом Брадтманом на замовлення полтавського купця 2-ї гільдії Сергія Аршавського.

В 1918 році будівля була націоналізована, донині в ній розміщуються урядові структури.

Фасад прикрашає сумне жіноче обличчя, яким під час дощу стікає вода, і здається, що маска плаче. Звідси народна назва особняка.
