Birthplace of Anton Chekhov

The birthplace of Anton Chekhov is a historic house in Taganrog, Russia, where the writer Anton Chekhov was born. It is now a writer's house museum. In 1916, the Taganrog City Council supported the initiative of the Chekhov Circle and acquired the house and grounds on Chekhov Street 69 to conserve the house of Anton Chekhov. In December 1920, the house was freed from all tenants, and a renovation followed in 1921.
