Apartment house of K. Strauch

In the 18th century, one-story wooden buildings were located on the site of this building. In 1835, a brick mansion was built. At first, the owner of the house was the pharmacist Karl Strauch. His descendants owned the building until the revolution, then the apartment building was nationalized. The three-storey building was expanded to five floors in Soviet times. Over the years, famous figures have rented apartments here: Vice Admiral Bogdanovich, artists Novoskoltsev and Vasyutinsky, architect Krieger. At the beginning of the 20th century, there was an imperial hospital, a private boarding house, a wallpaper store, a wine cellar, and an optics workshop. The building is a striking representative of classicism. In 2001, it was recognized as a newly identified object of historical, scientific, artistic or other cultural value.
