SOLYANOY LANE, from Tchaikovskogo Street to Pestelya Street. In the first quarter of the 18th century, a canal was located here which enclosed the area of the Partikulyarnaya (Civil) Shipyard. In the 1730s St. Panteleimon' s Church was built here (present-day house No. 17/2A). After the shipyard was moved to Vyborgskaya Side, the canal was filled-in in the 1780s, and the site of the shipyard was occupied by the storehouses built for the storage of salt and wine, so-called Salt Settlement (hence the name of Solyanoy Lane, Salt Lane, established in the 1820s). Starting from the 1870s, the buildings of the former Salt Settlement (house No. 9) were used as showrooms, which accommodated the Agricultural Museum and Pedagogical Museum; from 1946 to 1952 the Museum of the Defence of Leningrad was quartered here, reorganised into the Museum of the Defence and Siege of Leningrad in 1989. In 1878-81, the building of Baron A.L. Stieglitz Central School of Technical Drawing was constructed (house No. 13, present-day Artistic Industrial Academy). In 1885-96, a museum was built as an annexe to the school (house No. 15, the Museum of Applied Arts attached to the Artistic Industrial Academy at present; architect M.E. Messmacher, sculptors M.A. Chizhov, A.G. Bauman, V.I. Zhilkin, A.I. Lapin). Architect D.I. Viskonti lived in house No. 2 in the 1830s; composer A.P. Borodin spent his infancy in the same place. House No. 6 was associated with the childhood of composer P.I. Tchaikovsky. M.I. Kalinin lived in house No. 7 from 1889 to 1896. The building which stood on the site of house No. 8 housed the Old House museum, which belonged to actor Y.E. Ozarovsky (not preserved). In 2003, Solyanoy Lane was reconstructed and turned into a pedestrian precinct.
