Restoration work continues at the Palace of Pioneers, a cultural heritage site of regional significance in Tver. At present, anti-avoidance measures are being taken to strengthen the foundations, floors and brickwork.
The building was originally built as a factory-kitchen, but it was never used for its intended purpose. In the 1930s it housed residential premises, the Union of Oilmen and Chauffeurs, a sawmill and a tour desk. In 1939 the building was rebuilt according to the project of architect I. Leonidov and handed over to the Palace of Pioneers of Kalinin. During the occupation the building was partially burned down, but in 1947 it was restored.
