Zakharovy Revenue House, Revenue house in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Zakharovy Revenue House is a residential building with rental units located at the intersection of Serpuhovskaia Street and Klinsky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg. The structure spans multiple stories with apartments designed to provide housing and generate income for its owner through tenant payments.
The building was constructed in the early twentieth century during Saint Petersburg's period of rapid economic growth and urban development. This era saw the creation of numerous residential structures that reflected the city's expanding prosperity and investment in new neighborhoods.
The building displays elements of national Romantic style with folk-inspired details and natural forms that remain visible in its facade and ornamentation. This design approach was typical for Russian residential architecture of its era and continues to shape how the street appears today.
The building is located in a central area with good connections to other parts of the city. Visitors can explore the architecture from the outside and walk through the neighborhood to see the surrounding area and other historical buildings nearby.
The architect behind the building, Aleksey Zakharov, studied at the local architecture academy and later relocated to Chicago to continue his professional work. This international career shift was uncommon among Russian architects of that era.
