In this thred, post 67, shows 2 pictures of GD Georgii from his residence on Milionnaya 19, in St.Petersburg.
Also, his familiy reside there, not in Novo-Mikhailovskiy Palace. I just want to input some clearances regarding Grand Duke Georgii Mikhailovich.  


Millionnaya 19 is just the Novo-Mikhailovskiy Palace, only from the street, not from the Neva river quay.

Do you have a link to a plan of St. Petersburg, which would show Novo-Mikhailovskiy Palace and Millionnaya 19 together ?

This is a link to a site with St-Petersburg histotical addresses:

http://www.citywalls.ru/house797.html

You see 2 addresses for the Palace: one from the street, one from the quay. It's the same Palace.

Also I live in St-Petersburg and saw the Palace from both sides many times.

GDss Maria Georgievna


The tiara is probably the ruby one which Marie mentions was a wedding gift from her father -in-law and which with the bulk of her gems was left in Russia in spring 1914 when she left for England and was presumably seized by the Soviets.

Dear Svetabel, thank you for the interesting link for both addreses. Would you please then explain why grand duke Georgii had rooms at Millionnaya address. There are proofs papers in the above articles mentioned that his corespondences were sent to Milionnaya address only?

I think Millionnaya,19 was a post-address of the Palace or that was a post-address of Georgiy M.'s 'office'. Georgiy M. and his family had apartments in the Palace though can't say exactly which rooms.

Thank yuo , Svetabel ! After all info I think all articles known to me were mistaken regarding GM address and residence.
I was going to send you a private message but got this:

The letters you typed don't match the letters that were shown in the picture.


P.S. What picture?

Well now it is contraversy which I found on internet: "Большой, почти квадратный участок, на котором стоит дворец, вторым своим фасадом выходит на Миллионную улицу, где был построен так называемый Шталмейстерский корпус. В этом корпусе жили придворные и служащие при дворе. Позднее внутреннее пространство корпуса было перестроено для среднего сына Михаила Николаевича - Георгия Михайловича. Во дворе, между корпусами построены здания манежа, конюшен и двухэтажное здание конторы великого князя. Фасад, выходящий на Миллионную улицу, отделан гораздо скромнее, что соответствовало его первоначальному предназначению. Еще более скромно выглядит фасад главного здания, обращенный на внутренний двор. Над третьим этажом возвышалась золоченая главка домовой церкви Архангела Михаила. Первые два этажа, как раз под церковью занимал Зимний сад. За остекленными стенами выступающего ризалита сохранилось помещение, которое он занимал. Со двора можно было попасть во дворец через «черный ход» - небольшой подъезд, который вел в сад и парадные помещения дворца." I think, before the death of Mikhail in 1909, Georgii Mikhailovich used to live in Palace rooms but after 1909 he renovated the office for him with its entrance on Millionnaya 19 - from here then all known numismatists were right regoarding his residence.
