The house located at Klochkivska Street, 3 is one of the few that survived the once-dense development at the beginning of this street, which was destroyed during World War II.

Despite its dilapidated condition, the building attracts attention with its beautiful Art Nouveau decor.

The lizard-dragons biting their own tails are particularly memorable.

The house was built in 1903 to a design by architect B. Kornienko for the Jewish merchant Srul-Nakhim Shlemovich Gulko.

The south wall is adorned with a Soviet ceramic panel in the Soviet Modernism style bearing the motto “Kharkiv—City of Labor, Science, and Culture,” but it is difficult to see due to an overgrown vine. Interestingly, a sgraffito featuring the same motto can be seen on the building at Poltavskyi Shliakh Street, 67
