      • The skyscraper was built in 1948–1954, designed by Mikhail Posokhin and Ashot Mndoyants.
      • Construction was overseen by the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and many flats went to aircraft designers and test pilots, hence the nickname "House of Aviators".
      • The central part has 33 floors, 22 of them residential.
      • For Soviet housing the building was innovative: underground parking, a pram room on the ground floor, centralised dust removal.
      • At the bottom were Gastronom No. 15, covering 6,000 m² and the city's largest shop, and the 540-seat Plamya cinema.
