The Central Building of the Town Policy.
The Central Building of the Town Policy.In the early 20th century in these buildings there were the Town Police Board, a town judge, the Board of the Police Chief of the town, the address department, the First Police Station and the Fire Station. The main building of the Town Police Board was overbuilt from the yard side by an entresol with a skylight over the main stairs in 1908 to the architect S.A. Danini’s design. Originally a fire-tower was raised above a smart loggia, planned by Geste, with a distyle portico of the Tuscan order and a window with a rectangular opening and a semicircular head. At the main building sides there are symmetric buildings of the Board of the Police Chief (22 Leontyevskaya Street) where during 1853-1861 there was a flat of the Town Police Chief Nikolay Ivanovich Tsylov, a famous author of atlases of Tsarskoye Selo and Saint Petersburg, and the Fire Station (32 Leontyevskaya Street). Between them there were equally decorated passages into the yard with stone posts for gates and the blind stone fence. Splendid exuberant trees, among them there was a magnificent old oak, raise above the stone fence from the side of Moscow Sreet, remembering about the garden which was placed here in former times. Since the 1920s the Detskoye Selo (Pushkin) Town Soviet of Workers’, Peasants’ and Red Army Soldiers’ Deputies and executive powers were placed in these buildings. At the present time the former building of the Town Police Board is used as the municipal Historic and Literary Museum. The District Board of the Military Committee is placed in the buildings of the Board of the Police Chief and the Fire Station now. According to the original function the historical yard wings are used for a fire brigade (24, 26 Leontyevskaya Street). Authors
