Kanareechnaya Street

Рубрикатор / City Topography/Urban Network/Streets
KANAREECHNAYA STREET, running between Bolshoy Avenue and Sredny Avenue of Vasilievsky Island. The street was laid in the 1800s, near Gallery Harbour. It was originally named after house-owner and skipper S. Kanareev (building no. 5), and the name was fixed in the 1860s. In the first third of the 19th century, Kanareechnaya Street was also called the Twelfth Line and Thirteenth Line of the harbour and Nazarovaya Street; in the 1840s, it was known as Pervaya Street. Building no. 11 (1882, architect I. A. Aristarkhov) housed the first Women Patriotic Society School. In 1894, V.I. Lenin took part in an organising meeting of the Marxist workers' circle, which was held in a wooden house that was replaced by the current building no. 13. During the Siege, all wooden constructions were demolished for firewood. In the 1950-60s, Kanareechnaya Street was built up with standard residential houses.
