Help ID-ing various rooms

--- Quote ---There hasn't been any response to this request, and I too would love to get a better sense of exactly where these rooms are located. The State Museum 'Tzarskoje Selo' has a numbered floorplan of the entire Alexander Palace and it would be great if one of the palace historians could identify where these rooms are on the plan. Thanks so much.

can anyone identify the function/designation for the rooms in the right wing? the color-code has identified who occupied which space.... but it would be fantastic to know which room was A III's study, etc. A III & MF seem to have occupied a large number of rooms (then again, so did N II & AF!), it would be really interesting to know what they were.
specifically, rooms 18 thru 56
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP IN IDENTIFYING THESE ROOMS?
i know someone out there has to know....

Of course the designer played around a bit for space sake (he notes what) but there is a note that the rooms of AIII and MF were closed during the reign of N&A. It's pretty cool to see some of the rooms laid out though I won't vouch for the authenticity--I just thinks it's interesting to see.

Hi Brian!
As far as I know room 29 is the bedroom of Maria Fedorovna and Alexander III, room 33 is the Blue budoir, room 31 is a passage room, room 32 is Alexandra Nikolaevna's memorial chapel, room 44 is the stag chamber (and to my opinion former bedroom of two Veliky Kniaz, but I do not remember exactly, anyway they were two children of Nikolaj I. Look at the book with the watercolors, the French one, I mean)
and or room 38 or 39 is the study of Alexander III.
Room 18 is the so-called bathroom of Alexandra Fedorovna and room 19 is the white hall.
Hope to be useful. And forgive me if I made mistakes.

actually, i don't have have that book. and i've either never seen it, or (if it's part of the boxed set), i've only seen it once for about 15 minutes 3 years ago. if it has a plan/s, could you send it to me? (the plan, not the book! ;) ) i just want to see how it compares to what i've got already....

The book I am referring to, is Imperial Palaces in the Vicinity of St. Petersburg
by Emmanuel Ducamp, Ivan Petrovich Sautov, N. S. Tretiakov
they are four volumes (one for each summer palace),
one volume is on Tsarskoe Selo (but there are no plans).
I thought you had them already becouse I saw the watercolors you sent about Gatchina, and some of the Cathrine palace.
bye
