its good they build an church on the spot where they were killed but i aslo wanted to see the house some day so ashame they broke it down
I always thought the same thing...the church could maybe "clean" the reputation of that place...and maybe give it a little peace.
yes your right when i would visit it [ if it wasnt broek down] it would give me an haunted feeling

A rare photograph discovered recently in the Library of Congress of Nicholas II and family outside the Tobolsk house:

Thanks Joanna.
But how is that picture 'recently discovered'? You can see it in the book, "Tsar: The Lost World of Nicholas and Alexandra", by Peter Kurth. It's not really that rare..

Thanks Holly for the info. I had seen Peter Kurth's book over ten years ago and do not remember seeing this photo. Must be age! I will have to find it again as I am curious of the source.

Here is the article from the Library of Congress on 'Revealing Hidden Treasures' 2007:

That is totally correct. That photo is found on page173 pf Kurth's Tsar.  Seems like there are several copies.
All the best,
Kitt

There is a picture on another thread taken by Anastasia 3 days before the execution.

archaeologistwanna-be, I know which one you meant.

But it was taken at Tobolsk, in GD's room at Governor's House., not in Ekaterinburg. But really good point. What if that were really taken 3 days before execution?

No photos of the IF after their transfer to Ekaterinburg are known to exist. Their own photography equipment was confiscated, and to my knowledge they were never photographed by their captors in the Ipatiev House.

Thank god they did not photograph the aftermath of the cellar room. Not sure I could ever look at those. Always thought it odd that the guards did not do so as proof positive of the murders but thankfully not.

Here are the last known photos of four of the imperial children, taken aboard the Rus:

Alexei & Olga



Tatiana (facing the camera on the left, by the window) & Anastasia

These photos , while unimaginably precious, are hard to take. Because of the looks on thier faces of course, but also when
one compares them to the river of beautiful images that came before. These scratchy, poor images
make it seem like the family are already fading out , like a signal poorly received . What I'm trying to say is the photos themselves
are symbolic of the situation and heart breaking

Aloha all!

Can't remember which thread I read this on, but there was discussion over a photograph apparently taken by GD Anastasia of the altar they set up for a church service - and whether it was ever developed - I think it was in Tobolsk. 

I was reading my copy of "The House of Special Purpose" by J.C. Trewin today  and noticed that on page 94 and 95 there are pictures of an actual church service in the "ballroom" at Tobolsk and the altar as well - wonder if these are the pictures mentioned being taken by Anastasia in captivity in Siberia.

Sorry I can't remember which thread the discussion was on :-(

I only recall photo taken by Piere Gilliard of altar at Governor's mansion in the spring of 1918. And yes, you are correct, I remember the photo you are referring at. There is little desk. I don't know if Anastasia did it, but at least one of the Gd's learned how to develope photos.

These are amazing photos! Thank you for posting them!
I wonder if those figures in the 2nd photo priests or part of the household? .The photos are also amazing  in that we see here what the family themselves put together in order to worship. It's an intimate view into an aspect of thier spiritual life. And I have to say, they brought quite a holy atmosphere to a ball room.
