Историческая справка
In the late 18th century, at the corner of Kosaya liniya and Kozhevennaya liniya there was a tannery of merchant Fyodor Yamshchikov. In the next century, the two-story building was no longer the tannery and was used as housing for workers. In 1905-1906, the building was remodelled to add four more floors according to the design of Vladimir Lipsky. With biting irony, this building was commonly called the Skobsky dvorets/Skobsky Palace. Living conditions in the “Palace” were far from ideal: most flats had even no kitchens, and out-of-town workers could not afford to rent a flat and had to make do with rooms and lodgings. The origin of the word “Skobsky” is obscure. The friendliest versions are that either the building owner was some Pskov merchant or the workers living in the building were from Pskov province. The least generous versions (like Vadim Shefner’s Motorny dom/Motor House) convey the general feeling of the district’s deprivation in the first half of the 20th century.
