House of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich (Nevsky Prospekt 43)
This corner building is located on the corner of Rubinstein Street and Nevsky Prospekt 43.
Initially, this place was a two-story house, which in 1829 was built on one floor by the architect A. D. Nellinger. Then the plot was owned by the court dancer, choreographer and head of the Theater School Sh. L. Didlo.
In 1899, the house was purchased by Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, who owned the nearby Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace. For the new owner, the architect A.V. Kashchenko in 1900, the house was built on two more floors and its facades were redesigned in a Baroque form, in order to architecturally connect it with the neighboring palace.
Nevsky Prospekt 45 and 47
Two elegant houses, with one facade facing Nevsky Prospekt 45 (Rostovtsev House / Filippov house) and 47 (Palkin House), and the other on Rubinstein Street and Vladimirsky Avenue, were originally built for the merchant N. S. Paskov-Sharapov.
Over the course of history, the owners of the houses changed, as well as most of the buildings on Nevsky Prospekt.
The house at number 45 in the 19th century had three floors, was made of stone and belonged to Colonel I. Rostovtsev, then the house housed the Mariinsky Women's Gymnasium. In 1875-1877, the house was rebuilt for the son of Rostovtsev by the architect A. L. Gun-the building was built up to five floors, and the facade was redesigned in an eclectic style. At the beginning of the 20th century, the house belonged to D. I. Filippov, the owner of a chain of St. Petersburg and Moscow bakeries; in the house he opened a confectionery-coffee shop, the interior decoration of which was done by the architect L. A. Ilyin. In 1911, the corner entrance to the building was decorated with a granite portal, now the room is a McDonalds.
House number 47 the ball was erected in the early 19th century. The building had 2 floors, and was profitable; on the ground floor there were retail premises.
In 1871, the house was bought by the merchant Konstantin Pavlovich Palkin. Three years later, the Palkin restaurant, famous for the best Russian cuisine in the city, moved into the walls of the building. This restaurant attracted wealthy and well-known residents of St. Petersburg. Some of the premises in the building were rented out.
In 1873-1874, the architect A. K. Kreuzer expanded the house and built it up to four floors, and the Palkin restaurant building was built in the courtyard. In 1904-1906, according to the project of A. S. Khrenov, the building was built on the fifth floor. Since 1924, after major repairs, the restaurant's premises began to operate the cinema "Titan", in which, in November 1934, the premiere of the film "Chapaev"took place. In the 1990s, the Palkin restaurant returned to the premises.

In 1864, the building was bought by the St. Petersburg Merchant Society, for which the reconstruction of the building was carried out according to the project of V. V. Strom - the classical facade was lost and a third-floor balcony was built.
Today, the building has three floors, a strict borderless facade, which is crowned with a pediment; and at the level of the third floor, a balcony still stands out.

In the courtyard, the architect built a two-hall cinema "Master Theater", later renamed "Crystal Palace".
Subsequently, the building changed owners, and various societies and commercial premises were located within its walls.
The house of A. L. Kekin (Nevsky Prospekt 74-76)
Until the last quarter of the 19th century, the plots of houses numbered 74 and 76 belonged to different owners. In the 1870s, both plots were purchased by the merchant A. L. Kekin, for whom the architect V. M. Nekoram built houses up to five floors, equipped bay windows and balconies.

The facade created at that time has survived to our time with some loss of decor. In 1883, the plot became the property of A. F. Korovin, and in the early 20th century-the widow of the hereditary honorary citizen A. A. Korovina.
In May 1891 and in January 1894, V.I. Lenin lived in the furnished rooms of the house.
In 1904, part of the building on the side of Ligovsky Prospekt was dismantled, and in its place, civil engineer G.S. Gavrilov built a new four-story building.
