In this album I will show you a pair of
interesting houses at the corner of Righsky and Staro-Petergofsky
prospects and the neighbourhoods of Repin Square including a little piece
of Griboedov Channel situated not so far.
A rather remarkable house, Righsky, 29.
The former M.V.Ziva mansion. Was built by the project of B.I.Girshovich
in 1905-1908.
They say, that house comes to the hundred St.Petersburg best modem
style buildings.
The fence itself looks a little bit
gloomy and reminds a cemetery.
Such tables hand on some houses of Righsky Prospect (and not only).
It is an insignia of OSOAVIACHIM
ОСОАВИАХИМа (A Defence, avia and chemical building assistant community)
- the USSR social organization (1927-1948). In this case it means that
the whole house entered OSOAVIACHIM.
Management of OSOAVIACHIM became
DOSAAF (Army, avia and navy free will assistant community).
Now, conventionally, the follower is ROSTO (Russian defence-sport
technical organization).
The inscription on the ribbon: "Let us strengthen the USSR defence.
Behind the above - mentioned house -
probably a coach-house.
It is old too, but near XIX century.
Maybe it belongs to neighbouring Kirshtner mansion (1878-1879)
They guess that sometimes carriages went
out from this doors.
And horses lived on the attic ;-)
But
first of all they keeped hay there.
However, I was told that many-storied stables were wide-spread (a
horse can easily be led to the second floor, carriage - no).
Now the outskirts of Repin Square. It's
name is connected with the famous artist, he lived here for some time.
(By the way - a new summer album about "Penaty" in Repino is planned).
On the picture, besides Fontanka river you can see two streets:
Griboedov channel to the left, and Sadovaya Street to the right..
Both are finished here.
Former "suezggeei"(for assamble) Kolomna
fire-brigade house. Fire-tower raises here. The house was built in
1840-th by the project of R.A.Gelyazevich.
A milestone to the left was
established in 1782 by the project of A.Rinaldi - it was the beginnig of
the Peterhof road.
A house remarkable by it's form of an
iron near the Malo-Kalinkin bridge. Architector W.W.Shaub, 1911-1912.
Staro-Kalinkin bridge and the Admiralteeysskie dockyards behind.
The first, wooden bridge was built here in 1733 but the stone
bridge just like this one - in the end of 1780-th .
In 1892-1893 the bridge became wider, it was made not-drawbridge
and lost some appearance details.
In 1907-1908 it was made more wider and a tram-way was built.
Maybe the embankment was built from two
sides at the same time and there was a little mistake in calculations
;-)
In 1965 the bridge was reconstructed so
it became closer to the very first project. The lanterns were recreated
in 1989.
The corner building across the bridge is a Navy hospital.
Let's take a walk through Griboedov
channel now.
Two "Pobeda" on the embankment.
In the same colour.
Estonian (Svyato-Isidorovskaya) church
and the Mogilevsky bridge - a part of Lermontovsky prospect.
The bell
tower of Nikolsky Cathedral to the right.
Now let's finish our walk. In the next
album we will continue it near this region.
