In 1898 in the city of Rostov a mansion of Petrov (Dombrovsky Mansion) was built by the notable architect N. A. Doroshenko. Before the Revolution it belonged to the lawyer of the Vladikavkaz Railway Administration A. A. Petrov. The building has the status of a cultural heritage site of regional significance.
