Petrogradskaya Side. Lenin Street. Along the former Matveyevskaya and Shirokaya

The book will discuss the architecture and history of the houses and the plots on which they stand; the architects who constructed these buildings; the homeowners who conceived the plans for their properties and hired professionals to do so; and the residents of both existing and now-defunct buildings.
The structure of the publication is simple. Two parts are devoted to the two former thoroughfares that now make up Lenin Street—Matveyevskaya and Shiroka. Each part consists of two sections, covering the even and odd sides of the street. We don't mention previous addresses, only current ones, to avoid getting lost in the vagueness of the old address list. Often, within an essay, the narrative will not be limited to just a single house, but will extend a bit further—provided that the person who owned, built, or lived there left a noticeable mark on other parts of the city.
