House with an owl

The House with an owl, located at Dubovskogo Street 8 in Novocherkassk, Russia, is a striking example of modernist architecture built in 1910. Originally owned by G. G. Krivtsov and later by professor M. M. Grishin, the building features a unique 'Finnish modern' style, characterized by a blend of diverse materials such as wild stone and glazed tiles. Its most notable feature is a marble owl sculpture, symbolizing family well-being, positioned above the entrance. This architectural gem not only enhances the streetscape but also appears in the novel 'Novocherkassk' by G. A. Semenikhin, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers alike.
