Gribushin and Sons.
The founder of the dynasty was Michail Gribushin, a merchant from Kungur belonging to the top guild.
His trade connected with tea, sugar and other goods was famous not only in Kungur but all over the Perm province since 1858. The trade was a very complicated business at that time.
In Kungur the Gribushins owned numerous ware-houses and store-houses where tea was assorted, weighed and packed into boxes and paper-boxes. Michail Ivanovich being a merchant who belonged to the top guild dealed in the whole-sale trade and his business was connected with the largest Russian fairs which took place in Nizhny Novgorod and Irbit (Irbit was a part of the Perm province at that time).
In addition to that, the Cribushins were famous as a dynasty of philanthropists.
In 1889 Michail Gribushin died. His wife Antonina Ivanovna and the sons Innokenty, Sergey, Michail and Nikolay came into his fortune and his business.
The enterprising widow at the age of 56, when women usually retire , founded a trade house named “The heirs of M.I.Gribushin”. Kungur was the place where the business was located. Then Sergey Michailovitch became the administrator.
In the beginning of the XX century S. Gribushin removed to Perm. The aim was consolidation and broadening of trade in the city of province. Sergey Michailovitch bought a wooden house in Pokrovskaya street (now Lenin street).
The history of Gribushin’s House
In 1895-1897 the house was built by Permian architector A. Turchevitch-Glumov. It changed few masters and in the beginning of the XX century it was bought by the Gribushins who decided to rebuilt it according to their taste.
After the death of A.Gribushina (1911) the house became a personal property of S.M. Gribushin continuing to work with tea trade and keeping up the traditions of charity. Sergey Michailovitch was a member of Perm Provincial Trusteeship of orphan asylums and a trustee of Perm College for Blind Men. He was also one of the directors of Perm department of Russian musical society, the honorary supervisor of Ekaterino-Petrovsky City College.
In 1915 S.M.Gribushin was died intestate in the age of 44. The house became a property of his wife, Anna Nikolaevna.
In 1919 the newspaper “Svobodnaya Perm” informed that in Pokrovskaya,13 the garrison officers shop is opened. Then in the building the Provincial Musical School was placed. During the Civil War the house was used as a hospital and the studies of the musical school were continued at the teachers’ places and in another Gribushin’s house (at the corner of Bolshaya Yamskaya and Ohanskaya street).
In 1912 in the house the children hospital attached to Perm Phrophylactic Centre T.B. was located. In 1922 in Gribushin’s house in honour of the October revolution a children hospital was opened and it worked there for a long time.
The building hadn’t been reconditioned since the time of its construction so at the beginning of the 80ths it seemed to be fallen into decay. It supposed to be torn down. But when it became a private property of Perm Scientific Centre of Ural department of Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) it was restored and nowadays the house is quite attractive.
Peculiarities of Architecture
Gribushin’s House is an excellent monument of modernist style in architecture and modelling craft. The constructive design of the walls is very interesting: outside and inside parts are made of brick and into the middle some larch trunks are placed. Stucco moudlings that can be found in 18 rooms and on the front of the house were made by a talented self-taught artist Pyotr Agafyin. The house is supposed to be a house described in the Pasternak's novel "Doctor Zhivago" as the "house with figures".
