The Yaushev brothers, merchants from a Tatar princely family, built a trading house in 1911 based on the design of architect I. A. Markevich. The two-story building was located on Irjar Street (later Kirov, then Ataturk, now Zarafshan). The Azov-Don Commercial Bank of the Polyakov brothers — partners of the Yaushevs — was also housed in the same building.
The trading house, also
known as the Yaushev Passage, is one of the few buildings preserved to this
day. It is located opposite the “Zarafshan” restaurant and is recognizable by
the triangular superstructure above the main entrance.
During the Soviet years,
the building housed a dietary canteen, and after independence — “Alpjamol Bank.”
Currently, the premises are rented by boutiques, a café, and a training center.
Another building of the
Yaushev brothers — their warehouses — has also been preserved. It is located on
Islam Karimov Avenue, to the right of the Senate, opposite the Alisher Navoi
Grand Theater. During the Soviet years, Polyclinic No. 1 was located there. The
building is well-preserved and was restored in 2006. It currently houses the
Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan.
