Pereplyotchikov Fyodor Petrovich was a Nizhny Novgorod first-guild merchant and city mayor who lived and worked in the first half of the 19th century. He is known as the commissioner of several income-producing houses in Nizhny Novgorod that later became important public buildings of the city, and also as a philanthropist.
Activity
In 1822, at Pereplyotchikov's commission, provincial architect Ivan Yefimov designed a modest two-storey building with three wings on the even side of the start of Rozhdestvenskaya. This building subsequently passed, under Pereplyotchikov's will, into the city's ownership and for two centuries served as one of the centers of business and public life in Nizhny Novgorod — today it is known as the City Society Income House (Rozhdestvenskaya, 6), thoroughly rebuilt in 1896–1902.
In January 1837, Pereplyotchikov, together with his wife and brother, petitioned the Nizhny Novgorod Construction Committee for permission to erect, on Verkhnyaya Zhivonosnovskaya Street (now Kozhevennaya Street), a three-storey house "on cellars" with two wings. The project was developed by architect G. I. Kizevetter; the facades were submitted for approval on 10 March 1837. The house connected with this petition stood on the site of later buildings in the same block.
Public role
Pereplyotchikov held the office of Mayor and was noted for his philanthropy. The bequest by which the building on Rozhdestvenskaya passed to the city was one manifestation of this tradition: the income house was used for the needs of the city society and was leased to commercial and public institutions.
