--- Quote ---Very interesting. Princess Paley still owned the Paris house after the revoltuion, am I right? She either lived there or it helped to sustain her and her daughters after the revoltuion.

Was Felix's inherited palace in Moscow the only Yussupov palace in that city or did his parents have homes there as well?  

I thought now that I have reached as far as I can go with the Romanovs on the Marlborough for the time being, I would like to compile a list of the residences owned by the members of the Imperial Family at the time of the revolution, including the Yussupovs.

Thanks again!

The parents owned the great house that had belonged to Ivan the Terrible and is much discussed in his memoirs.They lived however in a modern wing which had been added in the 1890's.

So the above pictures are from Felix's parent's home in Moscow?

The rooms look very cavernous (closest word I could think of to describe the high ceilings with very few windows-I'm not very architectual) in those pictures.

What would be the schedule of Felix and his parents aka what house in what city at what time of the year. I am going to read over Felix's memoirs after I'm done posting this so forgive me if the answer can be found in there.

Thanks again!
