The house of the manufacturer E.P. Casalet - the mansion of the Tenishev princes

The first owner of the site was Chief crew chief Leonid Makushev. He sold the land to Chief Commissioner Ivan Tormasov, who ceded it to Prince Peter Cherkassky. The prince built a two-story mansion with nine windows along the facade and a basement. Then the house became the property of John Thomson. Under Thomson, English coffee shops became fashionable in St. Petersburg. There was a "coffee house" in the wing on Galernaya Street. The next owner, Johann Blessing, rebuilt the house in the classical style. Since 1865, the building belonged to honorary citizen brewer Eduard Petrovich Casalette. By Cazalette's order, architect V. E. Stukkey completely rebuilt the building in the neo-Baroque style. Since 1872, a bank has been located in the building, and the Tenishev patrons have become the new owners of the mansion. In Soviet times, the building was occupied by Lengrazhdanproekt. In 2002, the mansion was included in the list of cultural heritage sites of regional importance. In 2004, the new owner, R.A. Abramovich, renovated the building. It is now owned by Gazprom.
