        • The intersection of Zagorodny Prospekt, Razyezzhaya, Rubinstein and Lomonosov streets has existed since the 1760s.
        • The house with the turret was built in 1913–1914 to a design by the architect Alexander Lishnevsky.
        • Lydia Chukovskaya and the physicist Matvey Bronstein lived in the house with the turret, and Anna Akhmatova often visited them.
        • In 1800 the Commercial School — Russia's first school for merchants' children — moved into the house at the corner of Zagorodny and Lomonosov.
        • Five Corners is mentioned in Dostoevsky's The Idiot and Crime and Punishment, and in Vysotsky's song “A Little Voice from Leningrad”.

        • The house was built in 1910–1912 to a design by Fyodor Lidval for Count Mikhail Tolstoy, a hero of the defence of Shipka.
        • Because of the plot's irregular shape, the axis of the courtyards is bent, and the arches open to the eye one after another rather than as a single perspective.
        • Flat numbers here have three digits: the first digit is the floor.
        • From 1913 the writer Arkady Averchenko lived in flat No. 203.
        • The courtyards were used for the “London” scenes of Sherlock Holmes with Vasily Livanov, and for “Winter Cherry”.
        • In 1987 about 3,000 people lived in the building's 327 flats.

        • In the same No. 13, Meyerhold's studio was here in 1913–1914, and now it is the Zazerkalye children's musical theatre.
