Actor’s house is a cultural and educational institution. At first, there was a Karaites’ temple architected by Horodetskii here. The building stands out with Moorish-Arab luxurious facades. The interiors are almost completely preserved. Now the National Union of Theatre Artists of Ukraine settles here and that is why the building is called so now. 

​

• In the original form, the house had a beautiful dome with stucco decorations, but it was destroyed in Soviet times.

• The library here includes 22 thousands of books.

• Karaites still try to get their temple back, but their minority consists of only 100 people. According to Ukrainian law it is insufficient reason.
