It was built in the 18th century at the corner of modern Nikolaevsky (formerly Artem) and Proletarskaya streets. It was a two-story stone building, L-shaped in the plan, of simple architecture with ascetic modest facades. The shocked Venezuelan F. De Miranda, who visited Kremenchuk in 1787, told the world about the working conditions at the plant. Here he saw convict workers with cut-off noses and terrible brands on their faces.
Soon the plant was acquired by Maslennikov, and at the beginning of the 19th century, after its closure, the building was again redeemed by the state for a cloth factory. But then it was staged on Kievskaya Street; a hospital is located in the building of a former sugar factory, and from the second half of the 19th century – military barracks, which were popularly called “sugar barracks”.
During the flood of 1917, the building was badly damaged and only in 1929 it was restored for housing for the workers of the cooperative named after 1905. In this form, it has survived to this day.
