Two stone service wings of the Disabled Veterans Barracks constitute the remains of the architectural ensemble, which was located here before, built by V.P. Stasov in 1821-1822 for placing Life Guard Disabled companies. Companies have been formed, according to Alexander I’s order, from the soldiers received injuries in battles of the War of 1812 and foreign campaigns. Old soldiers served according to their possibilities at the guard posts in the imperial Tsarskoye Selo residence. Five wooden barracks, one for officers and four for soldiers, were intended for them in Kolpinskaya Street. Two stone outbuildings and a water-dispensing pools of the town water supply system were built in the heart of the yard. In the first floor of the soldier’s outbuilding (9 Pushkinskaya Street) there were laundries with stoves and boilers for heating water, below there were ice-rooms, and over them in the mezzanine there were rooms for provision and a hothouse. In the officer’s outbuilding (13-a Pushkinskaya Street) there was a shed for carriages, stable for six horses and ice-rooms. In the mezzanine floor over the stable there was a room for storing hay, other rooms were used for storing grain and other economy needs. In 1859 in connection with the reorganization of the companies of Disabled Veterans, their barracks were transferred to other departments. A civilian guard team was placed in the service wings, later a garden team including fifty people was placed here. One of the wooden soldier barracks also survived (19 Pushkinskaya Street) and it was transferred to the peasant I.A. Yuzikhin. In 1869 the building was accommodated by A.F. Vidov for a dwelling house with nice facades in eclecticism forms. Semenova Galina Victorovna
