      • The nickname "Chaliapin's dacha" is unconfirmed: there is no evidence the singer ever lived here.
      • After 1917 the mansion housed a primary school until the 1930s, then the Serafimovich Library.
      • The library worked here throughout the Siege: an elderly librarian heated one room every day and lent out books.
      • The veranda with ramps, the spire with a weathervane and the stained glass are lost.
      • The mansion was filmed in "Varyonyi's Last Case" (1994), where it is the firm "Delta-Z".
      • The house stands exactly on the 60th parallel north.
