"Round" bathhouse ("Puck") on the corner of Karbysheva street. 1927 - 1929 years, the architect Aleksandr Nikol'sky with architect Aleksandr Vasil'yevich Krestinin.

It is considered one of the brightest objects of constructivism in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately the original project was not completed. The author assumed the dome and other architectural details. In connection with the dismissal of the project building has lost much of the emphasis.

In autumn 1941 Bath was closed due to lack of water and electricity from April 1942 it has continued its work in helping local people to observe at least some good personal hygiene in the inhuman conditions of the blockade. This was applied only to hot water, cold was necessary to bring.
