On the streets of the Volga 32, opposite the park "sticky" is a mansion of historical and architectural value of Saratov. The house was built in 1906 and belonged to one of the sons of the dynasty of millers Schmidts - Ivan. Some sources architect acts Capitol Abramovich Doolin (bright representative of neo-classical and Art Nouveau in Moscow), but no evidence (as however, and refutations) no. Destiny millers and talented architect crossed in 1915, when the Capitol Abramovich designed house on Bolshaya Kostrizhnoy 21 (now st. Sacco and Vanzetti) in the "Moorish style" for the family Schmidt (after numerous rearrangements house in our time has lost the original appearance). And because information about the building on the street. Volga was absent, many saw the "master's hand" Doolin.

Volzhskaya Street (formerly Armenian) was a street connecting the Upper Bazaar (now Theatre Square) and Lower (now the Museum Square), so the location of the enterprising owners of the mansion does not cause problems. Surprise and delight only the architecture of the building: a large volume composition and dynamic asymmetry of modernity, the individual parts and moldings of the neo-classical and big square windows rationalism. All these contradictory and difficult combination of a very harmoniously joined in the house at the intersection of streets and Cathedral of the Volga.

After the revolution, in 1917, the mansion Schmidts entered the city committee of the Komsomol, in the Great Patriotic air regiments were formed here. In the postwar period in a luxury mansion with miraculously preserved parquet floors, a fireplace and lions guarding the entrance to the building, opened a hotel for the high party guests. From 1991 to 2003, the mansion housed a kindergarten, that could not affect on the patio of the building with a beautiful grotto and a small pool. Now restored mansion located "House of Reception of official delegations" under the government of Saratov region.
