Annotation:
A unique plan that shows some important changes in construction
after 1737, up to 1750. To be mentioned the area of modern Big
and Small Marine (Morskaya) Streets -- Pogoreloye Mesto (burnt
down place), constructed by the 1738 project; the area of Big
and Small Colomnas (Marine settlements to where the Admiralty’s
servants were moved from the places burnt down) to be built on
by projects of 1738-1739. However, a part of the existent buildings
isn’t shown, e.g. settlements of the Life Guards etc. This
plan can be considered as a basis for the famous “Truskott’s
plan”.
