Con una guglia dorata sormontata da una banderuola del vento dorata a forma di una piccola nave, è uno dei simboli più evidenti della città. La guglia è il punto focale della vecchia San Pietroburgo ove convergono tre strade principali, riprendeno lo schema del tridente romano - Nevskij Prospekt, Ulica Gorokhovaja e Vosnesenskij Prospekt - e sottolineando l'importanza che Pietro I attribuiva alla Marina imperiale.
Da questo edificio prende il nome anche Admiraltejskaja, la stazione della metropolitana di San Pietroburgo aperta nel dicembre 2011.

18 Stafford Terrace, formerly known as Linley Sambourne House, was the home of the Punch illustrator Edward Linley Sambourne in Kensington, London. The house, now Grade II* listed, is currently open to the public as a museum.
18 Stafford Terrace was an almost new townhouse when the Sambournes moved in, in 1875. It was Linley Sambourne who set about re-decorating the house in the Aesthetic style. Today the house is a fine example of middle-class Aestheticism; its influences can still be seen permeating throughout the house, from decorative Sunflower motifs in the stained glass windows to the fine selection of William Morris wallpapers that hang within the rooms through to the displayed collection of blue-and-white Chinese import porcelain.
The 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum, located in the original control tower and other remaining buildings of the RAF Thorpe Abbotts airfield east of Diss in Norfolk is dedicated to the American soldiers and members of the US 8th Air Force who fought with the Allies in Norfolk in World War II. The area also became known as the "Fields of Little America" due to the number of Americans stationed there.
The entire former control tower is now museum space that highlights documents, photographs, uniforms and service equipment, plus a recreation of the original teleprinter room. The museum's collection includes a number of maps and other war-related artefacts from World War II's effects on the soldiers stationed there and how the group eventually came to be called the "Bloody Hundredth".
The roof of the control tower is known as the glasshouse, from where the remaining airstrips are visible. It remains as it was when the airfield was operational with the addition of a model of the airbase in the 1940s.
