Building of the Pavlovsky Women's Institute

The building of the Pavlovsk Women's Institute in Saint Petersburg is located at 8 Vosstaniya Street. The main building of the institute, separated from the street by a fence, included a church dedicated to the Apostles Peter and Paul, and in 1880 a left wing with apartments for the director and inspector was added to it. During the Soviet-Finnish and Great Patriotic Wars, a military evacuation hospital No. 2015 was located here, and in the 1930s the premises were occupied by an orphanage, a school, and the Mendeleev Educational Chemical Plant. Since the late 1930s, School No. 209 has continued to operate in the building, where polar explorer Artur Chilingarov, actress Natalya Tenyakova, and Alexander Rozenbaum studied.
