History
After the decision to transfer the Admiralty to Kronstadt by Admiral S.K. Greig, a project was drawn up for the placement of officer and ministerial wings along the entire Admiralty from its northern side. It was planned to build 12 officer wings that overlooked the front facades (Yekaterininsky and Bolshaya Yekaterininsky ), and a ministerial wing was to be built perpendicular to each of them. At the first stage, 6 ministerial and 4 officer wings were built. Since the Admiralty in the reign of Paul I was decided to leave in St. Petersburg, the remaining ministerial outbuildings were not erected. [2]
The main part of the complex was built in 1785-1788. designed by architect M. N. Vetoshnikov . [2] The 1st outbuilding was erected in 1788, the 2nd in 1787, the 3rd and 4th in 1786. [3] The 6th ministerial outbuilding was built later, in 1795-1796, according to the same project, under the supervision of V. I. Bazhenov , with one change: the thickness of the walls of the 2nd and 3rd floors was reduced. In 1805, the outbuildings underwent a redesign according to the project of C. Cameron ( A. D. Zakharov completed the reconstruction works). [2]
P.N. Stolpiansky cites the story that, in order to combat the drunkenness of sailors, the windows in the outbuildings, which overlooked the Navy (at that time Pavlovskaya) street, were laid down, since the sailors served through the windows of the container, which the owners or clerks of the taverns located on the other side of the street, filled with vodka. To combat the unauthorized absences of the sailors, it was also planned to erect a two-meter fence from the side of Fleet Street, and make entrance and exit only from the side of the officer wings, but these plans were not implemented. [3]
After the October Revolution, the wings continued to be used for military purposes (under dormitories and apartments for families of sailors), were under the jurisdiction of the Leningrad Naval Base. The 1st, 2nd and 6th outbuildings were rebuilt into apartments after the Great Patriotic War, and the 4th and 5th - in the 2010s. [2]
Architecture
All six buildings were originally identical in architecture: all were built three-story, of red unplastered brick, without decoration and decor. In 1901 and 1903 respectively the 3rd and 4th wings were built on the fourth floor. [2]
