Eliseevsky store

The house was built in 1902-1903 by the architect Gavriil Vasilyevich Baranovsky for the shop of colonial goods of the Eliseev Brothers trade partnership. The building stands out against the background of the classical architecture of Nevsky Prospekt with its stained glass windows, sculptures and luxury decoration. The style of the building was intended to show the richness of the partnership and attract the attention of potential buyers. The stained glass window on the Neva side of the building, covering several floors, gives the impression of one huge showcase. Four sculptures by A. G. Adamson "Industry", "Trade", "Art" and "Science" are installed on the facade.
