      • Joseph Brodsky lived in flat No. 28 of this building from 1955 until he left the USSR in 1972.
      • The “A Room and a Half” museum officially opened in May 2020; the architectural concept was developed by Alexander Brodsky.
      • The foundation bought four of the communal flat's five rooms; the last, unbought one was walled off from the museum with a temporary partition.
      • The Muruzi House was built in 1874–1877 in the neo-Moorish style; the inscription on the gate repeats the motto of the emirs of the Alhambra.
      • Dmitry Merezhkovsky and Zinaida Gippius lived in this house for 23 years.
      • In the early 1920s the Petrograd House of Poets worked here on Nikolay Gumilyov's initiative.
