The power plant for Moscow-Vindavo-Rybinsk Railway

At first, it seems to get close to the building will not work, but in fact not true. Enough to pass through the courts of the house 66 of the bypass duct and turn right. Electricity has already been talked about enough, so better tell you about the plant itself. Named Vindavo for the Latvian city, now called Ventspils. The builder and owner was one of the largest and richest private railway companies in Russia at the time. From their income, they not only developed railway infrastructure, but also built schools, hospitals and other necessary facilities (for example, due to the company had built a railway it build a college in Velikie Luki and a port building in Ventspils). Of course, after the revolution, the railway was nationalized. The architect of this building plant is not known, but I found that it was built in 1870. It is another very picturesque example of brick architecture in St. Petersburg where there are not so many anymore as we would like.
