The residence of the Kherson governor is a house with a mezzanine in the neoclassical style, built in the middle of the 19th century. In 1866, by order of the headquarters captain L. B. Skadovsky, the Odessa architect Demosfen Mazirov developed a project for the reconstruction of the two-story house of the Skadovskys with the addition of a one-story outbuilding. Later, the house passed into the ownership of the famous Falz-Fein family. Part of this large representative building was rented to house the governor's residence. In 1917, the provincial congress was held here, recognizing the Kherson region as part of the UNR, and the Central Rada as the highest authority. After the establishment of Soviet power in the city, the building housed the Council of Trade Unions and the Union of Working Youth. Now the former governor's residence belongs to the city palace of children and youth.
