Историческая справка
At the end of 1898 S.M. Chelishchev, Ye.N. Seletskaya, M.V. Annensky, and G.L. Shalit founded a building society called “The New Petersburg”. The society acquired a vast territory to be used for construction. It included almost the entire Goloday Island (now known as Dekabristov Island), and a part of Vasilyevsky Island up to the Harbour and the Smolenskoye Cemetery. According to the ambitious plan of “The New Petersburg”, the purchased territory was to be used for a city district of the same name with 600 buildings, including brick and gasworks, a shipyard for construction of steam boats, a pumping station, a chapel and a church. Each residential house was supposed to have up to 160 three-and four-room flats with lighting and heating. In order to link the area with the rest of the city the society planned to build an electric railroad to Nikolayevsky Bridge (now Annunciation Bridge). The construction started in 1899, but after a year it stopped: the society only had the funds to build two houses in the current pereulok Kakhovskogo. In 1910 the land plot was bought by another construction company that invited the renowned architects Lidval and Fomin to participate in the project. Despite the fact that the new plans were disrupted by World War I, we can still see “The New Petersburg” in house No. 2 in pereulok Kakhovskogo, buildings on ploshchad Baltiyskikh yung and the overall layout of the area.
