The building of the Noble Assembly was one of the public and cultural centers of the city. In the 1930s, it housed the first public library in Poltava, the trustee of which was the Ukrainian folklorist Mykola Tsertelev. The walls of the historic building are silent witnesses of the concerts of Modest Mussorgskyi, Anton Rubinstein, Peter Tchaikovskyi, Olexander Scriabin, Serhii Rachmaninov. In 1881 Maria Bashkirtseva performed in the hall of the House of Nobles, in 1897 Fedor Chaliapin sang. During the Second World War the building was burned down, and in 1945-1947 it was rebuilt.
For a long time there was a cinema named after Ivan Kotliarevskyi.
The house has been restored to its original form.
