In Arkhangelsk, the building of the former military enlistment office on Leningrad

In the building of the former military enlistment office on Leningradsky Avenue in Arkhangelsk, renewal began. This was reported by the city administration.

The two-storey wooden house built in 1936 is not an architectural monument, but in the memories of many Arkhangelsk residents it remains: they said about it "Here the army begins.".

In August 2026, Rosimushchestvo put up the object for auction - the announcement said that the building is not used and requires major repairs. Back in 2012, it was recognized as an emergency: the house was dilapidated, there were problems with heating, water and wiring. The house was sold in September.

The restoration is carried out by entrepreneur Oleg Verevkin.

I plan to carry out capremont taking into account that there will be an administrative building here. Now we are discussing facade solutions, as an option we consider wooden performance. Whichever option is chosen, I promise that it will be beautiful by the end of next summer, he said.

Earlier, Verevkin restored the architectural monument in Solombal – the House of Makarov merchants. The three-storey brick building in the Art Nouveau style of 1914 built again became the decoration of the city: this year the restoration was completed, the corner turret was restored, a forged fence was installed. Today in the house there is a creative space "Silence" and a shop of vintage things.
