Spaso House

Spaso House Review

The yellow neoclassical mansion behind the iron gate is the residence of the American ambassador. It was built in the early 20th century for a wealthy merchant. From Nikolopeskovsky pereulok, what you first see of this mansion is actually the back side of the building; it's much more impressive from the front. To get there, bear right at the small park, which is usually filled with neighborhood kids and their grandmothers. It's a pleasant place to take a break.
