\n \n PRYAZHKA, a river, flowing from the Moika River into Salnobuyansky Canal and on into the Neva River. The river is 1.32 kilometres long. Banny Bridge, Matisov Bridge and Berdov Bridge were span Pryazhka River. The name of the river is associated with the spinning workshops, transferred at Kolomna from the area of the Main Admiralty in the 1730s. The settlement, where artisans and workmen lived, was moved to the same location. From the late 18th century, the banks of the Pryazhka were built up with residential houses and buildings pertaining to K.N. Bird\"s factory. House No. 48 (1832) and house No. 50 (1838) are architectural monuments of late classicism. In 1897, the building of A.A. Ilyin\"s Mapping Establishment was built (the house No. 5, architect I.I. Shaposhnikov). At the turn of the 19th-20th centuries a number of multi-storied apartment houses were constructed: house No. 66 (1898, architect V.F. Rozinsky), house No. 34B (1904-05, architect A.G. Uspensky), house No. 40 (1910-11, architects V.V. Fridlein et al.). House No. 50 was occupied by stonemason S.K. Sukhanov. A.A. Blok lived in the house at the corner of former Ofitserskaya Street (now 57 Dekabristov Street) and Pryazhka River Embankment from 1912 to his death in 192. In 1980, the flat was turned into the poet\"s Memorial Flat. Poet I.F. Annensky lived in the same house from 1874 to 1879, as did singer I.V. Ershov from 1916 to 1925. Pryazhka River Embankment accommodates St. Nicholas Psychiatric Hospital (126 Moika River Embankment), Foil-Rolling Works (1 Perevoznaya Street) and Levsha hunting arms company (house No. 32).
