Geer Almshouse, Cultural heritage site in Krasnoselsky District, Russia

The Geer Almshouse stands on Verkhnaya Krasnoselskaya Street, featuring Neo-Byzantine architectural elements designed by architects Lev Kekushev and Illarion Ivanov-Schitz.

Built in 1899, this almshouse provided shelter for up to 100 elderly residents until the social changes following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.

The structure represents late 19th-century Russian architectural traditions and social welfare initiatives through its detailed facade and interior layout.

Visitors can reach the site using public transportation, with several metro stations and the Kursky railway station located in the surrounding Basmanny district.

The building forms part of a larger estate complex known as Usadba Schepoteva-Geera, maintaining its original architectural features from the Russian Empire period.
