One of the oldest houses, which overlooks the main facade of St. Isaac's Square - this Myatlevo house is an architectural monument of the Classical period. It lived historical figures: Lev Naryshkin; after his death, the house owned by his son; then its owner was Ivan Petrovich Myatlev - the famous Russian poet. In this house there were A. Pushkin, MY Lermontov. Heirs Myatlevo rented house EV Bogdanovich - the hero of the Crimean War. After the revolution, the house was an art museum. Later it was converted into a college. Institute lasted until 1927. When the war of 1941-1945, the building was given for the establishment of "Lenstroymaterialy."

City manor Myatlevo forms an ensemble, which includes the main house and an outbuilding .  The peculiarity of the angular location of the land on which stands the mansion, influenced the choice of building foundation .  The foundation consists of two parts: one part of the rubble, the second - band .  Socle is part of limestone finish, this has been applied, so-called "stove Putilovskaya" .  This was the name plate made of limestone quarried in a quarry near the town of Putilova .  The walls are built of brick, covered with plaster .  In the mansion are two kinds of floors: wooden beams form a flat ceiling and brick - vaulted .  The floors in the building is also of two types: there are just a stone, but there is laid parquet .  This dualism in the architecture ends .  All windows have a standard rectangular shape .  The roof is covered with iron .  The building itself is very high, the extra height added to the three floors of a fairly high base .  The building has a rectangular shape, Corner of (the projection over the entire height of the structure, which is beyond the facade and is integrally formed with the building) in the courtyard - semicircular .  Thanks corbels, the building has a memorable view and becomes a par with Finland Station and St. Petersburg Mint known for its risalits .  The building also forms a rectangular wing and has three floors .

Nice view of the facade of the house opens to the St. Isaac's Square. Window openings on each floor are decorated differently. The windows of the first floor are decorated with smooth jambs and window sills are fastened by means of brackets. The bas-reliefs located above the window openings in the form of sculptures on the theme of ancient rectangular shape and a male relief profile round shape. These two types of image windows are arranged alternately. On the second floor trim at the windows - simple profile, they are decorated by a garland and a capstone, which have volyutoobraznuyu form. Further, above the windows of the second floor is a frieze, it is located above the ledge. On the third floor - the windows are square, framed by profiled architraves, horizontal elements are raskrepovan, this technique is widely used in architecture in the days of ancient Rome.

At the center of the building is the entrance, made a portico balcony above the entrance on the second floor, supported by two pairs of columns without flutes, called the Tuscan order. Balcony limits forged grille. Balcony door on both sides of the frame has a series of rectangular panels, bas-reliefs on the panel - carved. Just above the doorway is a semicircular shaped box, surrounded by sculptural inserts.

The interiors have a perimeter layout. Through the entire second floor stretches front suite. Now you can not judge how the interiors have been decorated in a building during construction, they simply did not survive. You can only make assumptions on the individual remaining trim parts which miraculously reached our time. The vestibule is a rectangular shape, the walls of which handled a pair of pilasters, and at the end of the colonnade is four pilasters. Body lobby - korbovy. From the entrance hall staircase goes trehmarshevaya. Staircase semicircular shape, it just takes a corner block. Initially, the second floor of the building was intended for ceremonial rooms, among whom was a spacious room, with choirs, supported by columns. Marble hall decorated with pilasters. Some rooms have survived the oven, lined with tiles.

At the moment, the building occupies a city prosecutor's office and premises adapted to its needs: rooms are divided into rooms close because of redevelopment corridors significantly narrowed.
