Do you like exploring little-known landmarks? Then do not hurry to leave picturesque Malysheva Street and take a stroll until the bank of the Iset River. This is the location of one of the least discovered landmarks of the city, namely, Chuvildina House . This is a gorgeous mansion made of red brick that was built near the riverside at the beginning of the 20th century. Initially, it was a property of merchant Chuvildin.
