The mansion and V.A. Schroeter's own house are two historical buildings in St. Petersburg, located next to each other (on the Moika River Embankment 112 and 114) at Khrapovitsky Bridge and belonged to one person - Viktor Alexandrovich Schroeter.
Both buildings are similar in appearance, made in the so-called brick style and erected by the master of brick making and architect Viktor Alexandrovich Schroeter.
One building was an apartment building, apartments were rented out in it, and the second was the Schroeter family's own mansion.
Schroeter 's Mansion
114 Moika Embankment / 2 Pisareva Street.
The mansion of V.A. Schroeter was erected in 1890-1891 according to Schroeter's project as a personal residential mansion for his family to live in.
The mansion is made in a brick style and close to Art Nouveau. The building is given a romantic style with elements of Gothic architecture.
The building has two floors and stands out with a triangle and a compass on the facade, as symbols of the architect's profession.
The facades of the building are lined with terracotta ceramic tiles and high-quality facing bricks. The platbands and draughts of the structure are treated with plaster.
The house is distinguished by the asymmetry of the facades and windows that differ in size and shape. The silhouette of the mansion is decorated with a corner turret, pointed gables and attics.
Under the balcony, located on the main facade facing the Moika River, there is a sign of the Pb -Society of Architects, whose founding father was Schroeter.
Schroeter's own house
Moika Embankment, 112.
The building is also known as the "House with Bay Windows" and has Gothic elements in the architecture.
V.A. Schroeter's own house was built as a residential building in 1897-1899 according to the project of Schroeter himself.
The four lower floors of the house were allocated for apartments, and art workshops were arranged in the upper one.
The facades of the building are lined with high-quality facing bricks, and individual details of the decor are made of plaster.
The building is decorated with seven two-storey Gothic bay windows of triangular cross-section, located at the level of the second and third floors and overlooking the Moika River.
A memorial plaque is placed on the house, which reads: "The outstanding organist and teacher Isai Alexandrovich Braudo lived in this house from 1928 to 1970." However, it is more correct to understand these signs as follows: Braudo lived in the house from 1928 to 1941 and from 1944 to 1970, since in 1941-1944 he was evacuated to Perm.
