The most striking pre-revolutionary building in the city: an extravagantly decorated mid-19th century mansion on the embankment of the City Pond, painted bright green with white and red detailing, with cast-iron arabesques, ogee windows and a Russian Revival turret.
The house now functions as a presidential residence — it is used for state ceremonies when senior officials visit Yekaterinburg. The exterior is the point; you'll have to view it from the embankment.
