      • The scientists' club opened in 1934 on the initiative of Abram Ioffe, Nikolai Semyonov and Alexander Baykov.
      • The club took over a former school for the institute staff's children, and until 1914 the building housed the Polytechnic hospital.
      • During the Siege a hospital operated in the building.
      • In September 1946 the club was turned into the Leningrad House of Scientists in Lesnoy.
      • It has nothing to do with the Gorky House of Scientists.
