Gostiny Dvor in Pushkin

The Gostiny Dvor in Pushkin was established in 1818 when the shops from Znamenskaya Church and the Konstantinovskaya Fair were moved to its current location. The wooden one-story building, erected in 1825 by Vasily Stasov with the participation of Vasily Geste, was replaced in 1866 by a new stone structure designed by N. S. Nikitin. In the courtyard of the complex, stone Meat Rows appeared in 1843–1844, and in 1911–1912, Alexander Bach built a concrete icehouse-warehouse. The architectural appearance of the building is defined by pavilions with attic mezzanines and paired Tuscan order columns, as well as numerous dormer windows above the roof slope.
