Cavalier Houses (Pushkin)

The Cavalier Houses in Pushkin are located on Sadovaya Street and were built in the 1740s–1750s on the site of dismantled and relocated houses of palace servants and churches. Originally one-story Baroque-style buildings with mezzanines, they were expanded in 1784 by architect I. V. Neev, who added a full second floor while preserving the overall style. In the 19th century, the assistant master of the horse lived in house No. 10, and the building was extended by another floor, while house No. 12 was occupied by the military-campaign assistant master of the horse. The Engelhardt House (Sadovaya Street, 4) had a veranda on the garden side, as depicted in watercolors by A. A. Belukha, a Lyceum student.
