ACADEMY HOUSE (1/2 Lieutenant Schmidt Embankment), architectural monument. A residential house of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, built according to an exemplary project of the early 18th century, reconstructed in 1757-58 (architect S.I. Chevakinsky); in 1793-94 a block along the Seventh Line of Vasilievsky Island was built, and in 1806-08, the main block was reconstructed again in high Neoclassical style (architects A.G. Bezhanov and A.D. Zakharov). The austere look of the main facade of the three-storey house is enlivened with a four-column portico of Doric Order, supporting a heavy entablement and a balcony. The walls contain 29 commemorative plaques with the names of scientists who lived here. I.P. Pavlov's memorial apartment is situated in the house.
