Bigelow Mechanics Institute |
The building was built to house the Bigelow Mechanics Institute, a private men's club. The Institute shared the building by renting out space to the postal service and local businesses from 1853 to 1873. Previously this pre-Victorian building has served as tenements and now it is home to the Museum of Russian Icons, which contains a world-class collection of art. |
