TOLSTOY, HOUSE OF (52-54 Fontanka River Embankment/ 15-17 Rubinsteina Street), an architectural monument of the late Art nouveau. The six-storey apartment house was constructed in 1910-1912 on the request of the landlord Count M.P. Tolstoy (architects F.I. Lidval, D.D. Smirnov). The basis of the complicated special composition is determined by three courtyards of different configuration, forming a sort of a "street" with well-organized internal space. The main facades, overlooking the embankment and Rubinsteina Street, are emphasized with a high (three-storey) arched passages, flanked with arched passageways. In the facades' decor ashlars limestone, plaster and brick were used.
