Benois House, Federal cultural heritage building at Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Benois House stretches along three streets with a central hexagonal dome and decorative vases adorning the main facade's upper section.
The First Russian Insurance Company commissioned this residential building in 1910, completed in 1912 with 250 apartments across 25 grand entrances.
The building carries the name of the Benois family, with architects Julius, Leontiy, and Albert Benois collaborating on its neoclassical design.
The structure features modern amenities including steam heating, electric elevators, a telephone station, laundry facilities, and waste incineration systems.
During the Leningrad Blockade, the building's wing facing Bolshaya Pushkarskaya Street housed one of the few kindergartens that remained operational.
