Set against the street, the tall columns and pale front of this hotel stand out, and its name, Severnaya, is Russian for "Northern." Neoclassical facades like this were a common choice for hotels and public houses in the 19th century, when architects borrowed the balanced proportions of Greek and Roman temples to suggest civic order and prosperity. Hotels of this kind often housed dining rooms or bars on the ground floor, so the street-level activity here would have overlapped with the tavern trade this section of the gallery explores. The evenly spaced columns and the way they frame the entrance are worth a closer look.
