Ipatiev House

Ipatiev House was a house in Yekaterinburg where the abdicated Emperor Nicholas II of Russia (1868–1918, reigned 1894–1917), all his immediate family, and other members of his household were murdered[1] in July 1918 following the Bolshevik Revolution.

In the 1880s, Ivan Redikortsev, an official involved in the mining business, built a two-story house. The length of the facade was 31 metres. 1908, the house was bought by Nikolai Nikolayevich Ipatiev, a military engineer, who turned the ground floor into his office.[2]
