The Art Nouveau apartment building at Sumska Street, 80 was built in 1906 according to a design by Oleksander Ginzburg for Grigory Ivanovich Goryansky, a nobleman.
The last owner of this five-story architectural landmark was a retired military doctor, Emmanuel Moiseevich Landa-Bezverkhy who purchased building during WWI. He emigrated during the Civil War and died in Italy in 1937.
The building’s windows were damaged as a result of Russian shelling in March 2022. On December
