In the wing attached to Pribylovskaya house (the present address is: Square of 100 anniversary of V.I. Lenin birthday, 1a) young Ulyanovs family (a father, a mother, and two children) had lived since autumn 1869. One can't explain why Ulyanovs had chosen this house when they had arrived to Simbirsk. Maybe because it was close to the regional work-places - work of Ilya Nikolaevich.
