The building of the “Ellada” hotel-pension (now an architectural monument) is located on Papaskir street (which in the early XX century was named Kurortnaya street).
It was built in 1902 for the merchant of the 1st guild and tobacco industrialist Dmitry Konstantinovich Komnino.
The building was designed by Alexander Ivanovich Sinitsyn (1850–1925).
The architect created the hotel-pension project in a classical style, adorning its snow-white façade with an elegant pediment and slender columns.
The two-story pension had 20 rooms.
In 1915, the “Ellada” hotel-pension closed, and soon after, a teacher’s seminary was established in the building.
With the advent of Soviet rule, from 1921 to the 1930th, the building housed the Sukhumi Pedagogical College.
Since 1963, it has been home to a children’s music school.
