In 1899, this plot was purchased by the retired lieutenant colonel Filip Bakkalinsky. In two years, a one-storey brick house with a wooden mezzanine was built on it in the style of Neoclassicism with elements of the Neo-Renaissance. After the death of the owner, his descendants lived in the manor, and under the Soviet government it was nationalised and housed various administrative institutions.
The building is a valuable example of Lukianivka housing development of the early 20th century and the last surviving one-storey residential building of the former Velyka Dorohozhytska Street. In 2012, the building lost its protected status, its residents were moved out, and it had to be destroyed for further development of the site. Fortunately, activists managed to save the building, and in 2021, Bakkalinsky’s Mansion was awarded the status of a new cultural heritage site.
