A dwelling house with mezzanine was built at the border of the 18th and 19th centuries during the reign of Emperor Paul I. The most probably that the author of the project was P.V. Neyelov, a member of the Tsarskoye Selo architect dynasty Neyelovs. Later on among owners and dwellers there were famous names, P.M. Volkonsky, L.V. Tepper de Fergusson, E.I. Liprandi, E.I. Igelstrom, F.I. Plevako, V.I. Vuich, Ye.I. Markevich, the widow of the literary man B.M. Markevich, A.A. Taneyeva (Vyrubova), I.V. Yershov. In 1936-1941 a recreation center of the Leningrad Conservatory was placed here. In WWII the house was damaged by an unexploded bomb which brought through the roof of the mezzanine. Restored works were done in the early 1950s under the direction of A.A. Kedrinsky. The interior of the main hall with two tiers of windows, that was decorated with picturesque handmade wallpapers made at the Tsarskoye Selo Wallpaper Factory, have been restored during the overhaul. Painters I.G. Andreyev, M.M. Shvabsky and Nevadsky recreated the historic painting of the plafond and frieze using saved fragments of wallpapers and photographs. Andreyev, I.G.

A design of an one-storied house with a mezzanine and garden was developed in 1926 by the architect V.M. Gornostayev for Ya.V. Kitayev, a valet of emperors Alexander I and Nicholas I. When Ya.V. Kitayev was a young man he was Paul I favourite hairdresser and a master of curling. The wooden house was built in two years. However this house is more famous as a country house of A.S. Pushkin, where the museum of the poet is placed now. Here A.S. Pushkin and his wife spent the summer and a part of the autumn of 1831. Kitayev died soon and the house was passed from his widow to Privy Councillor F.I. Pryanishnikov, a famous patron of art and an owner of a picture gallery. Since 1877 it was owned to O.I. Ivanova who enlarged the house, added entrance rooms on sides and tambours, and removed the main entrance to Dvortsovaya Street. In 1910 the marble plaque with the inscription “A.S. Pushkin lived here from 25 May until 20 October 1831” was installed on the house façade according to the owner approval. In 1949 the house was restored. Interiors of the first floor, sitting and dining rooms, were restored to the design of V.M. Gornostayev and furnished with the furniture of Pushkin’s time style. The memorial museum was opened in 1958. Gornostaev Vasily Maximovich

The town of Pushkin, the Catherine Park, nearby the Private Garden.

The architect: Antonio Rinaldi (1709-1794)

The obelisk was erected in 1771-1772

Materials: the obelisk and pedestal are made of Siberian grey with veins marble; steps are made of Tivdia red marble; the plinth and stylobata are made of pink granite; the plague with inscription is made of bronze.

Inscriptions:
On the plague from the northern side of the pedestal:
In memory of the victory at the Kagul River in Moldavia on 21 July 1770,
under the heading of General Count Pyetr Rumyantsev the Russian army 17 thousands in number put the 150-thousand army of Vizier Galil-bey to flight up to the Danube River.
The modest needle-shaped obelisk without allegory decorations and attributes influences upon viewers by the sophistication of its silhouette, the scale and colour spectrum of used marbles. The obelisk is included into the series of the Tsarskoye Selo monuments devoted to the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774, from which the theme of military glory in the native monumental art has started.


The late 1770s - the 1790s.

The cemetery name comes from the village of Kuzmino. Founded in 1714 by peasants- resettlers from villages of the Moscow, Yaroslavl, Vologda and Kostrona regions, later the village has grown in the rich many-populated village of Bolshoye Kuzmino. The imperial residence in Tsarskoye Selo was created by the village inhabitants’ work. Probably , Lukoyanov, a peasant of Kuzmino Village who made glazed tiles for the Tsarskoye Selo Palace of Catherine I, the Belomoins, peasants of Kuzmino Village, the palace contractors and house-owners of Tsarskoye Selo, Tatyana Ivanova, a peasant of Kuzmino Villahe who was a confidante of Empresses Elizabeth Petrovna and Catherine II, as well as an unknown woman-peasant of Kuzmino Village whose portraits were painted by the court painters on Emperor’s order were buried in this cemetery. In 1747 the wooden Church of the Assumption was transmitted from a closed cemetery located in the palace sloboda (district) of Tsarskoye Selo to the cemetery of the village of Kuzmino where the church was consecrated in the name of the Annunciation of the Mother of God. There are no earlier information about the cemetery and church, but the title of the village as “sloboda” in the late 1710s confirms about their presence.
The stone Church of the Annunciation with the Italian appearance of the outstanding beauty was built in 1783-1785 to the design of G. Quarenghi instead of the wooden cemetery church. The Icon of the Mother of God of Kazan, seen at the source at the foot of a hill to Kuzmino Village peasant Marfa Yekimova, was saved in this church for a long time.
The Kuzmino cemetery on an equal footing with the aristocratic Kazan cemetery was the burial place of many famous citizens of Tsarskoye Selo. V.I. Neyelov, the founder of the dynasty of Tsarskoye Selo architects, was buried here in 1782(9?) (The gravestone was restored in 1957). Burial places of his family and sons I.V. Neyelov and P.V. Neyelov were lost as well as the family burial place of the architects Kokorevs, the grave of the famous publisher P.P. Soikin and many others.
In 1941-1944 the village of Bolshoye Kuzmino and the Church of the Annunciation, that were at the defence leading edge, were destroyed. Defenders of blockade Leningrad took cover and died near the cemetery trees and the church walls. Now the monument the Home Guards of The Green Belt of Glory, two memorial guns of which are placed in front of the entrance into the cemetery, remember about their feat of arms. Belomoins, the

In 1820-1822 the architect A. Menelaws built the Llama Pavilion, where llamas brought to Alexander I, apparently from Peru, were placed. In the closed courtyard there was a stable, small manège for animals and fodder store as far as accommodation for keepers. The eight-sazhen-high (sixteen-metre-high) tower towers above it. Richly decorated apartment for resting with the Empire style furniture was contained in the tower. The room walls were decorated with coloured etchings with views of Central and South America. “Using llamas for work by Peruvian” was the plot of etchings. In 1860 the architect I. Monighetti built two-story wing here for use as a photographic laboratory and since then the pavilion has been named as “Photpgraphy”. In 1907 mountain fallow-deer, brought by Colonel Zhukovsky from southern Mongolia, were kept in the manege. Alexander I, Emperor

In the main building of the U-shaped complex of three building firstly there were stables for two hundred horses and carriage sheds for the court coaches. The old one-storied stone house of the clothes attendant Chulkov was enlarged and rebuilt for flats of a non-commissioned Master of the Horse and riding-master. In 1770 according to the design and estimate of the architect V.I. Neyelov the new building was constructed which formed the complex like a square. Under Emperor Paul the Hussar Stables were placed here. By the middle of the 19th century the building became dilapidated. More then one inner reconstructions were made by architects P.S. Sadovnikov, A.F. Vidov who built a carriage shed in the yard centre. In 1911 expositions of the agriculture and fire department, the Society of Trusteeship about Sobriety of the Tsarskoye Selo Jubilee exhibition were placed here. After 1917 the Stables were used by The Detskoye Selo department of the Leningrad Agriculture Institute. In the 1930s here there was a mechanical depot, later – the repair and engineering works of Lenobldortrans of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs. From 1944 until 1947 here there was a prisoner-of-war camp. Then the building was restored and adapted for a improved hostel and sanatorium of the Agriculture Institute (now it is the Saint Petersburg Agrarian University). Works were done in 1947-1959 according to the design of the architect T.M. Belorusova (planning and restoring workshop No.3 of the State Institute of the Protection of Monuments). Belorusova, T.M.

The building was named after the name of former Pevchesky (now – Litseysky) Lane. The station was equipped with boilers and pumps made at the plant of F. San-Galli. The engineer- technologist M.I.
