[zone-78]

Saint-Petersburg, Kirovskiy district, abandoned residential area on Turbinnaya/Oboronnaya street

Built in 1931-1932, architectural style - constructivism.

This area contained 5 buildings, one of them has been demolished these days, three of them remain abandoned, and the fourth building was completely reconstructed. And there is still a single one apartment owner in one of the abandoned ones. We've met them, but they refused to answer any questions. The main flaw of the architecture of these buildings is that it didn't provide bathrooms.. at all, literally. The architect envisaged that the residents of these apartments would be showering in public baths (the public baths building is located across the street from this estate, it is also abandoned nowadays).

This area is planned to be demolished in 2025, for the better i guess.. I'll miss it.. maybe.. or not.. i'll miss the graffiti walls that's for sure
