Minsk. Yanitsky's house.

    Yanitskiy's apartment building is located near Independence Square in Minsk. The building was erected in the early 20th century in the eclectic style on Sovetskaya Street, which was called Zakharyevskaya Street before the revolution.

    In 1881, Labkovsky was the owner of the land plot. In the period 1890-1903, the owner of the property was Askar Konstantinovich Yanitsky. In 1903, a three-story stone apartment building was erected.

        There was a wooden wing attached to the building, which was erected in 1898. The building was modern for that period, had sewerage and running water, bathroom and toilet, and was considered one of the best residential buildings in Minsk. At the beginning of the 20th century, a noblewoman, Jadwiga Kostrovitskaya, lived in this house and rented 6 rooms. In 1908, the house was acquired by the nobleman K. Proshinsky.

     In the period 1912-1918– the new owners were Iosel Kaganovich and Kaganovich Tsivia. In 1909-1911, the vice–governor of the Minsk province, Sergei Pavlovich Mezhakov-Kayutov, lived in the building, occupying seven rooms and a kitchen.

    During the First World War, the building housed military and evacuation facilities. In 1921, the building was nationalized. In 1921-1923, the Minsk district Executive Committee worked here. Then the Baby's House.

       The building was damaged during the war. It was restored in 1947. There were residential apartments and a 'Bread' store. Now the house belongs to BSU.
