The mansion of Nestor Nikiforovich Kaigorodov at 29 Teresa Avenue in St. Petersburg has been designated a monument of regional significance.
The exact date of construction of the two-story building is unknown, but the building itself and several courtyard structures are already marked on a map from 1858.
In 1905, Nestor Kaigorodov was stripped of his rank and dismissed from his post as commandant of the Sveaborg Fortress. He then settled in Lesnoy and became chairman of the “Society for the Assistance of Students of Prince Oldenburg's Lesnoy Girls' Gymnasium” and a member of the Russian Technical Society.
The brick mansion with a mezzanine is one of the few surviving buildings in Lesnoy and is the only remaining reminder of the history of the development of the Lesnoy area in the 19th and 20th centuries.
