Sabaniyev Most [bridge]

Sabaniyev Most [bridge] (Сабанеев мост), next to the Scientist's Club is a three-arched stone bridge built by engineer Alexi Kazarinov in 1831. It was restored in 1866. The prominent General Ivan Sabaniyev, who was a veteran of the 1812 War, lived nearby when it was first constructed, so early Odessites began to call the bridge by his name.

Courtyard of the Scientist's Club

This house was built in two stages between almost seventy years 1830-1897.

The house began as a one story home built in 1830 by an unknown architect.

In 1897 the Odessa Opera Theater architects, Ferdinand Felner and Herman Gelmer, designed a two story addition to the house. Its facade copies the style of the Italian baracco. The thirty-three halls in this building are rich in decoration and very elegant. In 1975 the building was restored.

Next to the building is a landscaped garden, designed by F. Duphen in the 1880's. The garden is encircled by a cast iron railing on a high stone base.

Since 1932 the building has been used as the Odessa Scientist's Club.
