Dom Knigi (House of Books) - St Petersburg
Another style moderne building from the early 20th century, the Singer building was originally built in 1907 to house the famous Singer Sewing Machine Company. The building's cast iron frame allowed the large ground floor windows where passers-by would stop and stare at the women working inside. The building is topped with an elongated dome and glass sphere held aloft by a him and her pair of monumental statues. The sphere was lit up at night by that modern invention electricity. After the revolution, the building became a book store and was recently restored inside and out.

The house of Singer, also known as the House of Books is an architectural monument of great importance. The six-storey is in the style of Art Nouveau ans was built in 1902 - 1904 by Pavel Suzor for the The six-storey with a loft building in the style of Art Nouveau , was built in 1902 - 1904 by architect Pavel Suzor for the joint stock company Russian Singer. Originally, the parent co., which produces sewing machines, wanted to build a skyscraper, similar to that being built at the time in New York. Such a building would have violated an imperial decree that all building must be no taller than 23.47 m. in the city.
The building was a first for Russia, being constructed of a metal frame. The interior was decorated with floral ornaments of wrought bronze and the exterior was adorned with sculptures by A.G. Adamson......
Until 1917, the building belonged to Singer who leased part of the premises to a private commercial bank. During the Great War, the ground floor was used by the Embassy of the United States. In 1938 it housed the House of Books........

Yeliseyevsky Merchants - St Petersburg
The building on the corner of Malaya Sadovaya and Nevsky prospekt was built at the beginning of the 20th century as a showcase for the Yeliseev brothers' merchandising. With its high steel-framed windows, the four facade statues representing Industry, Trade, Art and Science, and its stained glass, mirrored and dark wood interiors, it remains a high point of style moderne architecture. Nationalized after the October revolution, it retained its elitist associations for the Communist party hierarchy who were allowed to shop here to purchase such delicacies as mandarins, bananas, pineapple, and caviare, delicacies unavailable to ordinary citizens. After a checkered start during the post-Soviet days, in 2010 the city government let the store for a period of 10 years to local businessman and restaurateur Evgeny Pirgozhin, on the condition that it be restored to its former glories. When the shop reopened in spring 2012, it was an immediate hit with locals and visitors alike. The interiors have now been fully restored (with the addition of the central palm tree), fine food merchandisers and staff were imported from France, and no less than three restaurants were opened on the site - a coffee shop on the ground floor, the Mezzanine restaurant featuring a menu from Michelin-starred chef Julien Lachenaud, and the basement Sklad (Warehouse) Number 5 featuring the Yeliseev brothers' own recipes. There are counters for meat, cheese, and wine, patisserie, oysters, caviare, and look out for the chocolate fondues. The only bum note for us are the waxworks figures of the two brothers waving from the mezzanine. Otherwise a fantastic addition to the city's heritage and contemporary gourmet scene.

Places for books in Saint Petersburg, Part 2
One of my favorite things about Saint Petersburg is that books are taken seriously here--at least, more seriously than in most of North America. For example, a great many people read books on public transit, whereas it is more common to see people looking at newspapers, business spreadsheets on their laptops, or video games on portable gaming devices on North American transit. (You see some of those here in Petersburg too, but books have a definite edge.) And when people here read books, they're usually reading real literature: Old hardcover novels with time-worn bindings or reprints of the like, not vampire novels or books about economic crashes. Since I'm here and places for books are among my favorite places in the city, I thought I'd make a video showing some of the best places to browse books in Saint Petersburg. As usual, I didn't get any interior footage because I didn't want to be kicked out of any of these places, but this should give you at least an idea of what's available in the city.
By the way, the final segment here, where I'm in front of the Bukvoed on Vasilievsky, was filmed earlier on, when I had done an initial tour of the bookshops in Petersburg and found them mostly taken over by Bukvoed; I was not even aware of the existence of Dom Knigi or the Krupskaya book marketplace until later, so if what I say at the end seems a little incongruous with everything else in this video, it's because it was filmed when I was young and ignorant.
