🏛 Brusnitsyn Mansion

Кожевенная линия, 27

The abandoned palace of the Brusnitsyn leather manufacturers with an eclectic facade of 1884 — a reminder that Kozhevennaya Liniya (Tanners' Line) was the factory street of the Harbour district.

In 1844 the Tver peasant Nikolai Brusnitsyn bought the house and three years later opened a tannery for 10 people here.
The workshop grew into a factory of 600 workers, and Brusnitsyn himself became a merchant.
The mansion got its present look in 1884, when the founder's sons commissioned the architect Anatoly Kovsharov to rebuild it.
After 1917 it housed the management of the Radishchev tannery.
Inside, the ceremonial dining room survives, with a wood-look coffered ceiling and an authentic bronze chandelier.
