Moika Embankment, 94
1760s. Architect J.-B. Vallin de la Mothe. Rebuilt
in the 1830s, architect A.Mikhailov the 2nd.

In 1760 another story was added to the original 
small two-story house and it was enlarged. The 
center of the main fasade is marked out by a 
six-column portico that united the two 
lower stories; the third story remained an attic. In 
the course of the following reconstruction a wing 
was added to the old house parallel to the 
embankment; it contained gala halls of striking 
grandeur.Since 1830 the palace was owned by 
Prince N.Yusupov, one of the richest men in 
Russia. On the night of December 17, 1916, the 
monarchist conspirators killed G. Rasputin here.
