History of Kyiv Ginzburg skyscraper, or Ginzburg House - 12-story skyscraper, which stood in Kyiv at the beginning of the XX century. It went down in history as “the first skyscraper of Ukraine” The house was used as a hotel for visitors and for renting apartments; in those days, such houses were called profitable. There were 94 luxury apartments in a skyscraper, the largest of which had 11 rooms. There were about 500 rooms in total. This building was serviced by a large number of servants, only the cleaners were more than twenty . On the ground floors of the Ginzburg house there was a shopping center (food shops were located here). The construction was crowned with a tower, from where beautiful panoramas of Kiev opened. Ginzburg's house was so famous that every cabman knew where it was. Due to the height of 50-60 meters, the building was visible even for several kilometers. About the end of the life of Lev Ginzburg. The Bolsheviks robbed him of all the real estate he owned, all his savings, and he died poor in a Soviet hospital.
