The Primorsky Market on Maly Prospekt in the Petrogradskaya district is listed as a regional monument.
The building was constructed in 1953-1955 based on a design by architects Lazar Hidekel and Oleg Golynkin from Lenproekt's 13th studio. The building was constructed on the site of the former wooden Deryabkinsky Market.
The Primorsky collective farm market was designed as a combined market with space for collective farm and state trade. To this end, three identical buildings connected by passageways were planned.
The entire market complex was conceived in a solemn and monumental style, and contemporary architects criticized the project for making a utilitarian building “resemble a museum.”
