In 1878, industrialist I. Nemets built a steam mill on Vesyolaya Street (now 1905 Street), which eventually grew into the city’s largest flour milling partnership, “I. Nemets and Sons.” Here, among the first in the industry, a six-story steam mill with high grinding capacity, based on vertical technology, was built in the early 20th century. Flour was produced there for 1.5 million rubles annually, shipped primarily along the Dnieper River to Belarus and the Vitebsk Governorate. About 100 people worked at the mill. In 1913, the partnership was transformed into the “South-Russian Flour and Sawmilling Joint-Stock Company,” which employed over 200 workers.
Next to the mill, in 1901, a mansion belonging to one of B. Nemets’s sons, decorated with luxurious cast-iron lace, was built (now at 23 1905 Street). After the worst flood of 1931, which contributed to the spread of tuberculosis, a 40-bed children’s overnight sanatorium was opened in the renovated former factory owner’s house. The building now houses a dermatovenereology clinic.
