The residential multi-story Slovo House was built in 1929.
It accommodated Ukrainian writers and poets, many of whom were later shot by the Communist authorities at Sandarmokh in Karelia. Today they are known as the 'Executed Renaissance'.
The house was built in lavish fashion by contemporary standards.
Each apartment had 3–5 rooms, which was luxurious for the interwar Soviet Union.
Five storeys high, the Slovo Building contained 66 apartments, made of the best materials then available.
A solarium and a shower were built on the roof, with a preschool kindergarten in the basement.
In 1929, the residents moved in although the central heating was not installed until after New Year's Day 1930.
Each apartment had its own bathroom, central heating system, and telephones.
Artists were given studios in the building.
After the end of World War II, an elevator was installed, providing access only to the ground and fifth floors.
The building was slightly damaged by a Russian bombardment on March 7, 2022.
