Chornomyn Palace (White House)

Palace / manor , Architecture

The palace of the estate of Mykola Charnomskyi, the ruler of Countess Sofiya Potoska, was built at the beginning of the 19th century under the direction of the Italian architect Francesco Boffo, who was then the chief architect of Odesa.

The house was built of London white brick, had an elevator even then, and food was brought from the kitchen through underground passages. Flanked on two sides by a double colonnade, the building's appearance and layout closely resemble the White House in Washington, D.C., depicted on the $20 bill: three stories with large windows and a semicircular colonnade. The assembly hall with ceilings over 15 meters high is similar to the Oval Office. According to one version, the architect used drawings of an American mansion.

Currently, the building houses a high school.
