Pashkov House
One of the most beautiful buildings in Moscow: The Pashkov House, built
in 1784-87, is indeed one of the most beautiful in Moscow. Formerly part
of the Rumyantsev Museum, Bulgakov visited it in the 20s, when it had become
the Lenin Library. Today it houses the manuscript collection of the State
Library, including--appropriately-- Bulgakov's archival manuscripts. The
building, designed by Vasily Bazhenov, is Classical in style, with columns,
urns, and terraces reminiscent of Rome.
