The building was erected in 1910 to a design by architect V. Huash. Until 1917, the estate belonged to Charles Blackie, the British consul. He was so fond of football that he even created the first amateur football team in Kharkiv.

The estate was not only residential, but also served as premises for a kindergarten, and later as a hotel for foreigners. Today it is a place where Kharkiv artists can hold informative exhibitions that broaden viewers’ cultural horizons and allow them to learn more about contemporary art and its development in Ukraine.
