The Sadikhov residence combines
both Moorish and Azerbaijani architectural elements. This building
is not mentioned in the novel but obviously was a well-known
landmark at that time. |

This
residence was built in 1910-1912. As the house was located near
the Old Cemetery, one of Sadikhov's friends complained to him:
"You've chosen a very bad place and spent your money stupidly."
Sadikhov replied: "Don't be fooled. This is a fine place.
The Governor has established a garden for me right under the
windows of my home."
