The home of British vice-consul Charles Blackie was built on Sadovo-Kulikovskaya Street in 1910, designed by V. Gaush (presumably).
Now this Darvina Street, 11.
The building houses the Artists’ House. Art exhibitions, themed evenings, and other events are held here.
Many original features have been preserved in the house—for example, the window hardware.
The building was constructed in the Northern Art Nouveau style. The roof’s angular lines are particularly striking.

Charles Blackie was the brother of Henry Blackie, who served as the managing director of the Helferich-Sade partnership. Charles himself also worked there as director, starting in 1888.
Henry Blackie built a house for himself, designed by the same architect, Gausch; it is located at the modern-day address of Maksymilianivska Street, 22.
The year of construction is indicated on the medallion.
After the 1917 Revolution, the building housed a kindergarten and a hotel for foreigners.
