Azov-Don Bank
The Azov-Don Mercantile Bank at #3/5 Bol'shaia Morskaia Street was designed by Fedor Ivanovich Lidval, born Iogann Fridrikh Lidval, between 1907–13.

Lidval's first construction in the complex is the columned facade at left. When the bank bought the adjacent building to the right, Lidval redesigned its facade to harmonize with the bank facade using Classical and Art Nouveau (Style Moderne) decorative elements such as the bas relief sculptural details.
