This site, created by Russian history enthusiast and preservation advocate, Robert Atchison, provides abundant information about the Alexander Palace in St. Petersburg. Atchison became fascinated with the palace as a child and has traveled to Russia multiple times to push for the palace's restoration -- the beautiful neo-classical structure built by Catherine the Great had been used as a military installation by the Soviet Baltic Fleet since the 1950s. The site gives users access to a variety of types of information, including biographies (written primarily by Atchison) about those associated with the palace, floor plans, photos and links to related sites.
