Vvedenskaya St., 7, Saint Petersburg, Russia, 197198
The facade of the neighboring house No. 7 stands out from the general street development. It was built in 1913–1914 by civil engineer Vladimir Nikolaevich Smirnov for the merchant Mikhailov.
The facade of the house is faced with natural stone (red gneiss granite and gray granite). At the height of the second to fourth floors, the facade is decorated with seven pilasters. At the top, the pilasters end with belt half-sculptures of atlantes. The entrances are adorned with blocks of red granite, above which are bas-reliefs on an antique theme. At the very top of the entrance roofs sit owls or eagle-owls. The sculptural decoration was done by Rachin. On the facade of the house, you can see a marble memorial plaque dedicated to the Russian artist Kustodiev, who lived and worked here from 1915 to 1927.
