The Main Fair Building in Nizhny Novgorod lists Auguste de Montferrand as architect in the infobox, while the body text names no architect. The infobox lists the City Duma as owner, and the text names no client. The infobox gives a start in 1817 and an opening in 1822. The text says the main building was rebuilt in the late 1880s, with the new building completed the following year.
The original main building is described as classicism, and the rebuilt version is in the style of 17th-century Russian architecture. The article names no materials or building dimensions. In 1905 the fair had 60 buildings, 2,500 bazaars and 8,000 exhibits.
The fair ceased in 1929. A society formed in 1991 has its headquarters in the building, and the site is now described as an exhibition center. The article gives no hours or admission.
