One of the mansions is listed as a cultural heritage site and is known as the Semyonovskaya Sloboda House, dating back to the 18th-19th century. Local history literature refers to it as the mansion of Russian merchants Stepan and Tikhon Shelayev. In the early 19th century, the site was home to the Pokrovskaya Police Station. Historians believe that the police station was built on the foundations of early 18th-century chambers, which were part of a mansion once owned by Prince Alexander Menshikov, a favorite of the Russian Tsar Peter the Great. The Shelayev merchants later converted this police station into a mansion. Behind the striking facades, designed in the late 19th-century Renaissance-classical style, remnants of interior finishes from that period have been preserved.
