Chichrerin House (Russian: Дом Чичерина) was a historical landmark building located at Nevsky Prospekt 15 (between Bolshaya Morskaya Street and Moika River embankment) in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

In 1716-1720, the area between the Moika River and Bolshaya Morskaya Street was the site used to build Mytnyi Dvor (Russian: Мытный Двор), a project by Georg Johann Mattarnovy and Nicolaus Friedrich Harbel.

When famous actor Fyodor Volkov was invited to come from Yaroslavl to Saint Petersburg in 1757, he became the director of the Imperial Theater.

It has been suggested that it could have been Vallin de la Mothe, Yury Felten, Alexander Kokorinov or Andrey Kvasov.

The architecture, in rigorous neoclassical style,[2] is a rare example of the corner of a building forming a semicircular arc.

In 1778, Saint Petersburg's second music club opened in Chicherin House, where weekly concerts and masquerades were performed.

Attendees included Alexander Radishchev, Denis Fonvizin, Ivan Starov and Fedot Shubin.

Young Speransky impressed Kurakin with help on a business letter, and was immediately offered a job as the prince's scribe.

In 1800-1806 the owner of the house was Abram Peretz, merchant, prominent financier, ship building contractor and salt supplier.

In 1828 Russian writer, composer and diplomat Alexander Griboedov rented an apartment in Kosikovsky house.

The shape of windows facing Nevsky Prospekt was partially changed, and new section was built on the Moyka side of the building.

However, the police started to get reports, that club members engage in political discussions about constitution and revolution, Chernyshevsky makes speeches, and there is no playing chess.

At times of Russian Civil War and post war devastation, apartments were provided artists, writers, poets and composers such as Viktor Shklovsky, Osip Mandelstam, Alexander Grin (who wrote the novel Scarlet Sails here), Olga Forsh (who wrote the novel Palace and Prison here).

During these difficult years the book printing was very limited, and House of Arts plays important role in the cultural life of the city through Literature Evenings.

These were gathering where Alexander Blok, Maxim Gorky, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Andrei Bely, Anna Achmatova, Fyodor Sologub and Herbert Wells participated and read their works.

During the 1920s, the young Dmitri Shostakovich, then a student at Leningrad Conservatory, worked as a pianist accompanying the silent films.

The fact that the cinema stayed open during the siege became an important symbol for the city, as well as a source of information.

It is believed that the building had to be re-constructed to allow for a swimming pool to be installed on the roof for the guests staying at the lucrative hotel.
