It was built in 1909 by the architect Zenkov by order of the merchant Iskhak Gabdulvaliyev. In Verny, the Gabdulvaliyevs’ family owned houses and warehouses located on the streets of Uchilishnaya, Sergiopolskaya, Gostinodvorskaya, Taranchinskaya and others. One of these buildings was the Trading House “I. Gabdulvaliyev with sons”.
