In this house, which belonged to someone Solonina, Lesja with her mother, brother Michael and sister Olga lived two winter seasons:

- from the second half of September 1881 (arrival from Lutsk) until April 1882 (except for a few days in late November – early December, when they traveled to Lutsk to visit their father); from Kyiv they have already returned to Kolodjazhne;

- from September 1, 1882 (arrival from Kolodjazhne) to May 25, 1883 (departure to Kolodjazhne; Julian style dates).

The grateful descendants demolished this memorable house, now here in an empty space.
