Visible from the street; the inside is private.

On Leningradsky Prospekt in Vyborg, the Alfa House (1907) stands as a striking example of Northern modern and national Romantic architecture. Designed by architect Allan Schulman, this revenue house—built to generate income through rental apartments—showcases the stylistic trends that flourished in early twentieth-century Finland and Russia. The building's ornamental facades and distinctive character reflect the national Romantic movement's embrace of regional forms and materials. Today recognized as a regional cultural heritage site in Russia, the Alfa House remains an important landmark of Vyborg's architectural identity.
