The Glazer House, or the Red House, is the most Gothic house in Poltava. Belonged to ophthalmologist Chaim Glaser. He received patients on the first floor, and lived with his family on the second floor.
The walls of the building are made of red facing brick. Based on the combination of the asymmetric planning solution, the size and location of the openings, as well as the external decorative design, we can talk about the attempt of an unknown architect to create a building in the Art Nouveau style of Jewish orientation.
During the Second World War, the occupying forces burned down the building. There is information that Glazer himself was also burned in 1941 in a shed on a nearby street. In 1950, the building was restored to its original form and turned into a residence. For some time, the city education department was located there.
