Architectural landmark of St. Petersburg and Leningrad Neoclassicism. Unusual Story of a Building with a Cour d’Honneur
The author analyzes all the stages of construction that took place on a historic site in the center of St. Petersburg, where the urban mansion was first turned into a club, then into a house of culture, and, finally, into a hotel. The structure of the existing building demonstrates various layers, belonging to different stages of the construction of the edifice and the special features of its plan with a cour d’honneur. Special attention is given to the Neoclassical designs that appeared during the reconstruction by architects A. G. Golubkov and V. P. Makashov.
