Farm (Pavlovsk)

The farm complex with a wooden two-story ceremonial milk pavilion was built in 1801 in Pavlovsk on Novovestinskaya Street. The first floor of the pavilion had five rooms with semicircular windows, and the upper floor had two, one of which was octagonal, while the windows of the other were decorated with colored glass. The octagonal hall was furnished with furniture from the Shtrom workshop in the Gothic style, where two false fireplaces with mirrors in Gothic frames stood opposite each other. The lower vestibule of the building was preserved unchanged from Voronikhin until the revolution, and a single-flight oak staircase with thin balusters led to the second floor. In 1950, one of the tenants set up a soap-boiling workshop in the pavilion, which damaged the wall paintings more than the war did, and in 1996 the farm pond was cleaned according to the project of S. M. Zeltzman, with a facing of concrete blocks and a cobblestone bottom.
