Colleges for Girls (2, 4, Sovetskaya Street). Opposite a former boy’s gymnasium, near the town bridge, one can see two red brick buildings dating to the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Originally they served as a town college and a parish school. The finances for construction of one of the buildings are considered to have been provided by the town administration. Money for the other one was contributed by the family of a timber merchant, Sveshnikov, who was a collector of Russian artists’ paintings and, in his will, gave the collection to the town. Now these buildings house a primary school and a university established on the basis of the Pereslavl Institute of Application Systems. |
