This Neoclassical mansion, located at Chernyshevska Street, 14 is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Kharkiv. It was built by architect P. Yaroslavsky with the participation of V. Lobachevsky between 1808 and 1814 for City Secretary Dmitry Serdyukov based on a standard design.

During the Soviet era, there was a flying club here; today, it houses the Kharkiv branch of the Ukrainian Research and Restoration Center.

The Serdyukov estate complex is unique in that it has preserved not only the main house but also all the outbuildings in the courtyard.

The first large-scale restoration of the complex in 180 years was carried out in the 1990s under the direction of V. Novgorodov, with the participation of architects Y. Ryabinin, A. Grishko, D. Kushnarenko, Y. Nikitenko, and M. Yurchenko. The gates were designed and restored according to the standard plans of 1809.

According to V. Novgorodov, during the excavation of the basement, traces of “cultural layers” were found in the test pits — medicine bottles, wine bottles, etc., and oak beams with a diameter of 50 cm were used in the roof structure of one of the wings.

In the 2000s, the estate’s owners commissioned a second restoration, carried out according to a design by architect V. Lopatko. The estate’s appearance was restored to its later form from the second half of the 19th century, when it acquired more eclectic elements (rustication on the first floor, small canopies above the windows instead of keystones, etc.), and the color of the estate was also changed to light yellow.
