The building had workshops equipped with the latest technology, headed by the most talented craftsmen: M. Perkhin, A. Holmström, A. Holming and A. Tileman. On the ground floor there was a jewelry store, and on the upper floor there was an art studio where graduates of the Baron Stieglitz School of Technical Drawing worked. The Faberge firm owned the house on Bolshaya Morskaya, 24 until 1917; now it houses the Yakhont jewelry store, which opened in 1961.
