The building of the narcological clinic, located at Svityazka Street, 1 is perhaps the most striking structure in the historical district of Rashkina Dacha.

The roots of this name go back to Staff Sergeant Ivan Rashke, who purchased land in this area in the 1840s. On the map of the city of 1876, you can already see the name “Rashka’s farm”, in 1880 – “Rashka’s dacha”, in 1887 – “Rashka’s dacha”, the area is also separately marked on the map of Kharkiv by O. Ginzburg (1916).

Svityazka Street in this part of the dacha where the house is located did not yet exist at that time, so it is impossible to check who exactly was the last owner of the building without visiting the archive. Visually, the house with the tower very vaguely resembles the estates of Kvitka-Osnovyanenko and Kharina (they were built approximately in the 1870s), so it can be assumed that the house was built around the same years when there was a fashion for estates of a romantic “castle” look.

The husband of Varvara Rashke (who was the daughter of Ivan Rashke) was Mykola Moiseyovich Rudynsky. Moiseyivska, Rudynska, Verynska, Lyusynska and Gelenska (later Galynska) streets were named in honor of the last owner of the plot and his family members.

The building is not a listed architectural landmark; in Soviet times, it housed a nursery before the narcological hospital appeared here.
