CultureFire guts historic Miller Mansion near St. Isaac’s Cathedral in St. Petersburg
A fire that broke out on October 1 at the historic Miller Mansion in central St. Petersburg has been extinguished, but crews are still cooling the structure. Images show the interior was almost entirely destroyed. Fontanka reported that unsafe welding during restoration may have caused the blaze, prompting Russia’s Investigative Committee to open a criminal case over alleged safety violations.
