Yaushev Brothers Trading House
Yaushev Brothers Trading House

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.
