The Gromovs' house was partially dismantled after the fire.
Recall that late on the evening of Saturday, September 27, a fire broke out in the historic building at 22 Truda Street — the Gromovs' house. According to the Russian EMERCOM Main Directorate for the Kirov Region, there were no casualties in the fire.
On Sunday, September 28, the historic building presented a sad sight: around the charred house lay piles of burnt boards that firefighters had carried out and stacked after extinguishing the blaze.
It should be noted that the Gromovs' house was built in the mid-19th century for the official Varvara Gromova. Later it was acquired by the district zemstvo board, and for a long time the building was used as a prison for those arrested under sentences of the magistrates — popularly nicknamed the "Gromov Prison." After the revolution the building served several purposes: it housed workshops of the All-Union Society of the Blind, and later it became a residential building.
Likely, this building will be lost forever from the appearance of old Vyatka. As far as is known, the house is not a cultural heritage site and will most likely be dismantled and disappear. And in its place another faceless "high-rise," erected by one of the developers, may spring up.
