The residential house from the estate of Dmitry Tarasovich Gorbunov is a fine example of Tyumen’s traditional wooden architecture. Located at 27 Volodarsky Street, the house was built in 1909. This cultural heritage site of regional significance is a typical representation of a large Siberian home.
The structure is a one-and-a-half-story wooden building set on a high stone foundation. It features a simple rectangular volume clad in plank siding, with a uniform rhythm of windows across its facades. The upper, formal floor of the house is adorned with carved wooden window surrounds (nalichniki). The corner joints of the logs are covered with paneled pilasters. The windows are framed with nalichniki featuring a tall, gabled upper section (ochelye), side pilasters, and a carved windowsill board. The decoration includes prominent geometric relief elements in applied carving. The building is crowned with a cornice and a smooth soffit frieze – a horizontal decorative band beneath the roofline.
On the courtyard side, there is a side extension with an entrance vestibule (sení) and a staircase. During restoration work in the 1990s, this part of the building was slightly reconstructed, including the addition of a window on the corner side of the lateral facade. The original layout of the house has been relatively well preserved.
Together with the houses at 36 Dzerzhinsky Street and 29 Volodarsky Street, it forms the Gorbunov estate.
Originally, the estate belonged to F.A. Makovetsky. In 1909, it was acquired and rebuilt by Dmitry Tarasovich Gorbunov, a peasant from Kamyshlovsky Uyezd. Gorbunov traded in coarse mats and owned his own wagon team. Even before becoming part of the city’s elite, he held several prominent and respected positions. In 1906, he joined the petty bourgeois class and in the same year ran as a candidate for the Tyumen City Duma. Dmitry Tarasovich dedicated much of his life to the service of the city of Tyumen.
