Hello everyone
Does anybody know where GD Sergei Michailovich, Georgi Michailovich and Dimitri Konstantinovich resided in St.Petersburg proper? And what about Petr Nicolaevich, Pavel Alexandrovich and all three Vladimirovichi (Kirill, Boris and Andrei)?

I believe that:
Dimitri Konstantinovich resided principally at Strelena Palace;
George Michailovich inherited the Mikhailovich Palace at the death of his father, GD Mikhail Nikolaievitch. As I remember it this is an enormous palace so I wouldn't be surprised in Sergei lived there as well. Remember that George had a place in the Crimea as well.
When Paul Alexandrovich returned from exhile he built a palace at Tsarksoe Selo.
I don't know where the Vladimirovichi lived other than the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess (Parents of the 3 boys) had the Vladimir Palace - another very large palace right in St. Petersburg.
Hope this helps - I'm sure that others will correct any mistakes I may have made.

I think that GD Konstantine and his family resided at the Marble Palace when they were in St. Petersburg. In fact, I think Princess Vera was born there.

Georgii Mikhailovich did not inherit Novo-Mikhailovskii on Palace Embankment upon the death of their father, his older brother Nikolai Mikhailovich did. All three brothers--Nikolai, Georgii, and Sergei Mikhailovichi--lived together in Novo-Mikhailovskii; of course, in different parts.
As far as the Vladimirovichi: Kiril had a palace on Glinka Street, Andrei had a palace on the English Embankment--28 English Embankment, and Boris had a palace in Tsarskoe Selo.

I just read in A Lifelong Passion that Anna Virubova first met Rasputin at Grand Duke Petr Nicolaevich and Militsa's palace on the English Embankment.
Does anyone know what Number the palace was?
