The old St. Petersburg housing is disappearing into oblivion before our eyes. This fourth, supplemented and finalized edition is an attempt to create a kind of monument not to the parade, but to everyday St. Petersburg. E.D. Yukhnyova's book is devoted to one of the most interesting aspects of the life of old St. Petersburg - its profitable houses.
The author recreates in the smallest detail the atmosphere of life of luxurious "bar" apartments with their boudoirs, offices, sofa and children's rooms, bachelor's attics, bureaucratic apartments, as well as the hopeless existence of camoroki, corners, attics and basements. You will read everything about the architecture, decoration, layout and interiors of profitable houses - from modest wooden pentastenok to stone hulks of the early XX century. You will learn how people lived without running water, sewerage, steam heating, electricity and other amenities brought by technical progress, you will see a realistic picture of life in a St. Petersburg house.
