Categories / City Topography/Urban Network/Streets
ZHUKOVSKOGO STREET, running from Liteiny Avenue to Ligovsky Avenue. Previously known as Malaya Italyanskaya Street, the street assumed its present-day name in 1902 in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the death of V.A. Zhukovsky. It was laid in the 1760s next to the Italyansky Garden (hence the street"s previous name). In the first half of the 19th century, the street was built up with small stone buildings. Apartment houses came in the late 19th - early 20th centuries, including house No. 10/2 (1852, architects Е. Е. Eremeev, A.I. Lange), house No. 12/1 (1861, architect N.P. Grebenka), house No. 63/21 (1894, architect P.I. Gilev), and house No. 53/19, the location of P.T. Badaev"s apartment (see Vosstaniya Street). N.A. Dobrolyubov lived in house No. 6, I.M. Sechenov in house No. 10/2.
