From 1912 to 1925 the mansion belonged to Drevitsky's successors.
In 1925 the house was nationalized and divided into communal flats. Without due leaving the house decayed and by the end of the 1980s residents were moved out, and the house stayed in critical condition. In 1991 the house was transferred to the Taganrog fish processing plant (director N. I. Demyanenko). Local inhabitants called the ruined remains of the house "count ruins".
