Apartment Building of the Agricultural Association "Pomeshchik"

The apartment building of the agricultural partnership "Pomeshchik" at 16 Izmailovsky Prospekt was built on a plot purchased in 1911, which housed the management, warehouses, a cinema, and a 24-hour store. After the revolution, the building was nationalized, the apartments became communal, and the partnership's store was turned into grocery store No. 22. In the post-war years, a toy factory workshop, a savings bank, and vocational school workshops operated here, and the former "Pomeshchik" store opened "Osobtorg" No. 3, where food was sold in exchange for gold. The building has preserved its historical appearance, except for the spire on the dome, which, according to legend, was removed during the blockade for an anti-aircraft gun or lost in a fire in the 1980s.
