The estate was built in 1895 by a Sumy merchant of the 2nd guild, Nikolai Alekseevich Sukhanov (nephew of the Sukhanovs, local merchants and industrialists). At that time, the complex consisted of three buildings - the main residential two-story building with architectural decorations (now the Institute of Applied Physics), an office building (now the building of the Banking Academy) and a long one-story service building (now the Organized Crime Control Department is located there).

By the beginning of the 20th century, the estate was equipped with the latest technology of that time, even electric lighting was installed. The underground passage between the main building and the office has survived to this day.

Later, the complex of buildings was sold to the family of a railway engineer I. A. Sumovsky, one of the directors of the board of the Sumy Railway Company.
The nephew of the mistress of the house, Oscar Hansen, managed to hide the collection of arts and crafts during the revolution of 1917, which later became part of the collection of the Sumy Art Museum.

Today, the estate of the Sukhanov-Sumovskys is one of the best preserved buildings in the central part of the city.
