Stenbock-Fermor House

There is almost nothing to say about this house. Built in 1900 by architect V. Zeidler. But the site on which it is built is very interesting. The whole quarter between Sredny Prospekt, Makarov Embankment and Volkhovsky Lane was occupied by the Siberian (Birzhevoy) Yard, founded by a large merchant and industrialist Savva Yakovlevich Yakovlev. Here were located office space, shops, and warehouses. One of the warehouses was located exactly at the place where the house of A. A. Stenbock-Fermor now stands. And the pink building on the left side of the frame is the Yakovlevs' house, built in 1760–1770. At the time of Savva Yakovlevich, he served as a clerical office, but his grandson, Aleksey Ivanovich, turned this building into a city manor. In 1818-1821 he undertook a major alteration, it was then that the corner balcony on wooden Doric columns was completed. Under the balcony was a garden.
