      • The building was built in 1930–1935 by the architect N. A. Trotsky and is still occupied by the district administration.
      • It is Leningrad's first building of this type: authorities, post office, bank, club and assembly hall under one roof.
      • The 50-metre tower is crowned with a cube bearing a hammer and sickle and nods to European town halls.
      • Thanks to the reinforced-concrete frame, the ribbon glazing runs for 120 m.
      • On the facade is an old barometer by the firm “K. Votkei” with traces of three bullets.
      • The Kirov monument by the sculptor N. V. Tomsky was unveiled on 6 December 1938 and won a Stalin Prize.
