The building was confiscated by Soviet authorities at the beginning of 1918 and became the headquarters for the Rostov-Nakhichevan Revolutionary committee' headquarters.{{cite web|url=http://www.ng.ru/regions/2005-03-21/10_books.html|title=Раритеты гниют в подвалах|author=Мария Бондаренко|date=2005-03-21|publisher=Независимая газета|accessdate=2013-08-12}} In May of the same year, after the expulsion of the Bolsheviks from Rostov, the mansion became headquarters for the Volunteer Army. At the end of 1918 a large fire severely damaged the building, and it was not repaired until 1923.{{cite book| author = Есаулов Г.В., Черницына В.А. | chapter = | chapter-url = | format = | url = | title = Архитектурная летопись Ростова-на-Дону | orig-year = | agency = | edition = 2-е |location= Ростов-на-Дону |year= 2002 |publisher= |volume= | pages = 159| series = | isbn = 5-8456-0489-3}}
After repairs, it became the Recreation Center for Builders, which was soon replaced by the Institute of Blood Transfusion. In 1930s the building housed the Regional Museum of Local History.
During World War II, the mansion was damaged by fire several times, yet the walls survived. In 1947, local authorities decided to have the mansion repaired. Leonid Aeberg was again appointed to be in charge of this work. In 1952, the repairs were finished and the building was given to Rostov State University.
At the beginning of 21st century it became obvious that the mansion required another major repair. Long-term dampness in the basement had harmed the building and books that were kept there. In 2005 the facade was repaired. Reconstruction of the rest of the mansion began in autumn of 2013.{{cite web|url=http://donnews.ru/V-tsentre-Rostova-rekonstruiruyut-nauchnuyu-biblioteku-YuFU_8977|title=В центре Ростова реконструируют научную библиотеку ЮФУ|author=Анастасия Быченкова|date=2012-10-04|publisher=donnews.ru|accessdate=2013-08-12}}

A four-meter two-sided staircase leads to the main entrance.{{cite book| author = Кукушин B.C. | chapter = 6.2 Русский классицизм| chapter-url = | format = | url = | title = История архитектуры Нижнего Дона и Приазовья | orig-year = | agency = | edition = |location= Ростов-на-Дону |year= 1995 |publisher= ГинГО |volume= | page = 275 | series = | isbn = 5-88616-027-2}} The ground floor ends with a wide cornice.
