With their private electric power station on Tedzami river the family was first to use electricity and operated a small fruit processing plant. In addition to it a complex system of interconnected pools, water filters and cooling reservoirs is now found around the citadel.

When communists came to power in 1920es Bolgarski, villagers say it, asked new owners to leave him as the gardener, and being rejected left without luggage.

Vasily Bolgarski is known to have engineered the "Blue Gallery" - State central gallery on Rustaveli ave. in Tbilisi - and also a coloured bath, the separate and most visited structure from all the sulphur baths of the historic downtown.

Presumably Vera Beletski, conspicuous painter aquarelist of the beginning and middle of the 20th c, and friend of famous artist Elene Akhvlediani was last successor of the Polish immigrants family to have ties with the Bolgarski Citadel. The building is documented from 1885.
