Old St. Petersburg housing is disappearing before our eyes. This is the fourth, supplemented and revised edition - an attempt to create a kind of monument to everyday St. Petersburg, not just the grandeur. E.D. Yuhneva's book is dedicated to one of the most interesting aspects of life in old St. Petersburg - its income houses. The author recreates in the smallest detail the atmosphere of the luxurious "baronial" apartments with their boudoirs, offices, sofas, and children's rooms, as well as the bleak existence of attics, officials' small apartments, and the dark corners, attics, and basements. You will learn everything about the architecture, decoration, layout, and interiors of income houses - from modest wooden five-story buildings to massive stone structures of the early 20th century. You will discover how people lived without running water, sewage, steam heating, electricity, and other modern conveniences, and you will see a realistic picture of life in a St. Petersburg income house.
