Dear guests!

My name is...

Today we are going to tell you about one of the beautiful parts of our city. History and modern times, industrial and civil architecture are closely connected here. Now we are standing in Lenin Square. The architectural complex of the square was built in1970. The facades of the buildings have been designed in a classic style. The local authorities of Kalininskiy district work in house №1 (architect Baranov 1952-1954). The famous Arctic explorer Mikhail Somov used to live in house №3 from 1946 to 1968 (architect Yunger). In the western part of the square there is the Mikhailov Artillery Academy. It was built at the beginning of the 19 century by the architect Stauberg. The new building of Finlyandskiy railway station was built from 1956 to 1960. The group of architects under the leadership of architect Baranov designed it. A wide descent towards Neva (135 meters wide) completes the architectural complex of the square. It was made by architect Vasilyev in 1970. In the center of the square there is a monument Lenin. It was created on the donation of the city residents.

From Lenin Square we are going to Komsomola street. On the left side on Komsomola, 35 we can see the former house of Finland railway station workers. It was built since in 1887 by Geshwend.

The family of the prison chief “Kresty” lived in the hospital building earlier. The back part of that building faces Komsomola street. The prison itself was built in1884-1890 according to the project of architect Tomishko by the prisoners on the place of former “wine town”. At the warehouses of the wine town the reserves of all city wine were stored. Nearby deep in the garden a city hospice was situated at the end of the nineteenth century. After the Second World War there was a children's hospital there. It was built in1870.

On both sides we can see the buildings of the oldest arms factory in our country called “Arsenal”. The Emperor Peter the Great was the first to initiate the building of this plant and under his decree the “Cannon foundry yard” was established in 1711.

In the middle of the nineteenth century the plant was replaced to the right bank of Neva river. All the buildings both industrial and residential were built from 1844 till 1849 under the project of architect Gemilian. Nowadays the factory produces military goods and equipment.

After the Arsenal factory we are going to visit Kondratyevskiy prospect.

It is the modern name of the oldest Vyborg highway.

This part of our district is remaining its historical appearance which was formed from the middle of 19 till the beginning of 20 century and represents the examples of industrial and civil architecture. Many buildings were included into the cultural heritage register of our city due to direction № 15 of St. Petersburg's Authorities from the 20^th of February 2001.

Right in front of us we can see a former tenement house with polychromatic brick facing. It was designed in 1906 by architect Bogusskiy. Alexander Kondratyev the famous hero of the civil war lived here. Bezborodkinskiy prospect was renamed into Kondratyevskiy prospect in honour of Alexander Kondratyev, the first soviet commissar. The monument to Alexander Kondratyev was placed in the nearby square.

House № 3 is an example of the industrial architecture. These are the former instrumental warehouses of engineering plant called “Fenix” (the second part of the 19 century).

Further on both sides we can see the buildings of the plant called “Krasnyi Vyborzhets” (the former Rosenkrants plant, built in 1857) and the Sverdlov plant (the former 'Fenix” plant built in 1868). Now the main products of the plant are producing of programming machines.

A trade school of Russian Technological Society was situated in house № 13. (1910 architect Berzen).

On the left side we can see the house of architect Lidval. The department of the trade University which was opened on Gorkiy's initiative was situated in this house from 1915 till 1916.

The modern building of the metallic plant was built in 1976 according by Oreshnikov and Skorochod. The historical building of the plant is situated on the Sverdlov embankment.

As we see the people in our district treat the historical and industrial buildings which are the parts of our cultural heritage carefully.

And now please draw your attention to the civil architectural models. They are

house № 32 was a tenement house in 1912 architect Bogusskiy

house № 23 was a tenement house in 1911 architect Lychin

house № 25 was a children's hospice named after Kozminy (1911 architect Yeremeev).

On the left side we can see an interesting monument of the thirties of the 20 century. Nowadays this complex became a number 1 problem. There are the fortieth houses in Kondratyevskiy prospect, which have become the new objects included in

the United State Register of Russian Federation cultural heritage objects.

The complex was built in a constructivism style. It was an example of of the complex building in Russia of a vanguard period. It was built from 1929 till 1931 by Simonov, Kaptzug, Katzelenbogen and Tverskoy.

The complex consisted of 12 block of flats, a laundry, a library, a club with a cinema and a library, a day nursery and a nursery school. In the house which faces the corner of Kondratyevskiy and Polyustrovskiy prospects there is a department store. It was built in 1936.

Why is it a problem? The buildings are in poor state but we are not allowed to destroy them. They are the federal importance monuments. The Students of our school focused on this problem at the conference in March 2014.The Students of Moscow schools have found their own decision of this problem. They offered to create the leisure-time activity center for children and adults.

And at last we are going to Kalinin Square. It is the center of Kalininskiy district where we can see the architectural traditions of the 19 century. Here is the three-rayed (trilete) system of our city: Kondratyevskiy prospect, Polyustrovskiy prospect and Laboratornaya Street which pass here.

The dominant is the building of the former cinema called “Gigant”. It was built in 1935 by architects Gegello and Krichevskiy in a constuctivism style.

On both sides we can see the residential buildings and Kalininskiy department store.

In 1955 the Kalinin monument was mounted in the center of the square. (Sculptor Manizer, architect Barutchev)

Behind the square there is a residential area, which appeared in the middle of the 20 century and at the beginning of the 21 century.

There is also a submarine museum.

At the crossing of Kondratyevskiy prospect and Besstuzhevskaya Street there is one more monument of cultural heritage. It is house № 87. It was a hospice of clerk and ex-prisoner aid Society. It was built in 1901 by Nikitin.

Nowadays this building is used by the 21 police division.
